                With the aim to investigate the influence of high pressures on simple reactions of organic compounds, the behavior of MeOH has been investigated.  The decomposition of MeOH was studied at 350° under pressures of 600, 2,000, 6,000, and 8,000 atm.  The reaction products were Me₂O, CH₄, CO₂, and H₂.  Unsaturated hydrocarbons could not be detected.  The amount of Me₂O increased with increasing pressure and decreased at a given pressure with prolonged reaction time.  CO and H₂ were formed in small amounts and CH₄ in large amounts when high pressures were applied.  The amount of CO and H₂ decreased with prolonged reaction time while the amount of CH₄ increased.  The reaction vessel used consisted of nonrusting steel containing about 8% CrO₃ which possibly acts as a catalyst.  A series of reactions is given that the decomposition reaction is assumed to follow.
