The influence of temperature and carbon monoxide pressure on the course of oxidative carbonylation reaction of 1,5-cyclooctadiene in the presence of the palladium(II) salts as a catalyst, was investigated.


One of the most interesting cases of promoter action is that in which a mixture of two substances, each of which functions as a catalyst for the same action, shows greater activity than either constituent alone. Thus in the synthesis of ammonia an iron-molybdenum catalyst is stated to afford greater yields of ammonia than is given by either of the metals alone. Again, the production of formaldehyde from methyl alcohol and air was found by Hochstetter to be more effectively performed in presence of a silver-copper alloy than by either silver or copper alone. Carbon monoxide is oxidised more efficiently in presence of certain mixtures of oxides, for example “hopcalite,” than in presence of the constituent oxides (manganese and copper oxides).
