Abstract
In the formation of ethylene glycol from synthesis gas, amines (especially imidazole and its derivatives) enhanced the catalytic activity of a ruthenium carbonyl mixed with alkali metal halides. A rhodium carbonyl complex further promoted the activity and selectivity of a ruthenium–alkali metal halide-imidazole catalyst.
