    Abstract

    Vapor phase hydroformylation of ethylene was studied with silica-supported metal catalysts. A cobalt metal catalyst derived from Co2(CO)8 gave propanal and its derivatives in as high selectivity of about 36% as Rh/SiO2 catalyst under the reaction conditions of 1.1 MPa of a gas-mixture of Ar∶CO∶C2H4∶H2 = 1∶3∶3∶3 at 423–503 K. On the other hand, conventional cobalt catalysts derived from cobalt nitrate, chloride, or acetate, and other noble metal catalysts (Pd/SiO2 and Ir/SiO2) produced mainly ethane.
