An improved catalytic system was developed for the Rh complex-catalyzed hydroxycarbonylation of alkenes using formic acid (HCOOH). Ligand screening revealed DPEphos, a bidentate phosphine ligand, to ...

It is now known that the methanol to hydrocarbon (MTH) processes over zeolite catalysts comply with the hydrocarbon pool (HCP) mechanism where the methylation of alkenes and aromatics determines the ...
