Abstract
Abstract A process for preparing a diester of oxalic acid which comprises bringing carbon monoxide into contact with an ester of nitrous acid or with an alcohol and a nitrogen oxide or a hydrate of the nitrogen oxide in the gaseous phase in the presence of a solid catalyst containing metallic palladium or a salt thereof, a gas containing molecular oxygen being introduced into the reaction system in cases where said nitrogen oxide or a hydrate of the nitrogen oxide requires molecular oxygen together with the alcohol to form an ester of nitrous acid.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
106 words
A process for preparing a diester of oxalic acid which comprises contacting an ester of nitrous acid with carbon monoxide in the gaseous phase under ambient or reduced pressure in the presence of a solid catalyst containing metallic palladium or a salt thereof at a temperature of 50° to 200° C., and ester of nitrous acid being an ester of nitrous acid with an alcohol having 1 to 8 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of a saturated monohydric alphatic alcohol and an alicyclic alcohol, to produce the diester of oxalic acid containing the same ester group as that of said ester of nitrous acid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
106 words
A process for preparing a diester of oxalic acid which comprises contacting an ester of nitrous acid with carbon monoxide in the gaseous phase under ambient or reduced pressure in the presence of a solid catalyst containing metallic palladium or a salt thereof at a temperature of 50° to 200° C., and ester of nitrous acid being an ester of nitrous acid with an alcohol having 1 to 8 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of a saturated monohydric alphatic alcohol and an alicyclic alcohol, to produce the diester of oxalic acid containing the same ester group as that of said ester of nitrous acid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
The process of claim 1, wherein an alcohol having 1 to 8 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of a saturated monohydric alcohol and an alicyclic alcohol is added to the gaseous reaction mixture
