            In producing higher alcohols by catalytic reactions of H2 and CO, the retarding effect of N2 upon the desired reaction may be avoided by 1st treating the usual mixture of H2, CO and N2 to form MeOH and then treating the MeOH in the absence of N2 in a 2d step for the production of higher alcohols.
