Literature Abstracts

Formic, acetic, propionic, and butyric acids were identified in the 0.35% yield obtained with Co catalysts in the synthesis. These acids are found in the reaction liquor, of which 2/3 is acetic. No unsaturated acids were found. Acids dissolved in Kogasin were 0.06% of the latter, mostly of 5-10 C atoms and a small amount still higher.
