Abstract
Abstract In a process for preparing a diester of oxalic acid by the vapor phase catalytic reaction of carbon monoxide with an ester of nitrous acid in the presence of a catalyst composed of a solid carrier and a platinum-group metal or a salt thereof supported on the carrier, the improvement wherein said solid carrier is alumina having a specific surface area of not more than 90 m2/g.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
69 words
In a process for preparing a diester of oxalic acid by the vapor phase catalytic reaction of carbon monoxide with an ester of nitrous acid in the presence of a catalyst composed of a solid carrier and a platinum-group metal or a salt thereof supported on the carrier, the improvement wherein said solid carrier is alumina having a specific surface area of not more than 90 m 2 /g.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the ester of nitrous acid is an ester of nitrous acid with an alcohol having 1 to 8 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of saturated monohydric aliphatic alcohols and alicyclic alcohols.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the alumina has a specific surface area of 0.05 to 70 m 2 /g.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the reaction is carried out at a temperature of about 50° C. to about 200° C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the reaction is carried out at atmospheric pressure to about 10 kg/cm 2 .G.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the amount of the platinum-group metal supported is 0.01 to 10% by weight, as metal, based on the weight of the alumina carrier.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
61 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the catalyst is prepared by impregnating the alumina having a specific surface area of not more than 90 m 2 /g with an aqueous solution of a water soluble salt of the platinum-group metal, treating the impregnated alumina with an alkali, and then subjecting the alkali-treated product to reduction in the liquid or gaseous phase.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
