     Using the same method of preparation as described previously (Eidus and Zelinskii, abs. 793), but using Co(I) and Co(II), differing in preparation as catalysts, the catalytic interaction of C₂H₄ with CO in the presence of H₂ at 760 mm. pressure was studied.  (I) was not stable enough; (II) was more stable.  Results show that hydrocondensation reaction of CO with C₂H₄ in the presence of H₂ takes place; 75% by volume of liquid product is formed at the expense of the initial C₂H₄.  The presence of a considerable amount of O₂-containing compounds was detected, particularly alcohols.  PrOH was detected as the 3-nitrophthalate.
