Methanol, higher alcohols and ethers are synthesized on a large scale over heterogeneous catalysts with specific functionalities. When copper is the key component of the methanol and higher alcohol catalysts, alkali promotion gives rise to dramatic enhancements of yields due to non-dissociative activation of CO and promotion of aldol coupling with reversal of oxygen retention. Ethers are formed from alcohols over solid acid catalysts, both organic sulfonic resins and inorganic compounds such as zeolites, by a preferential surface S(N)2 pathway. This is exemplified by O-18 retention in reactions of two different alcohols, chirality inversion where asymmetric carbon is involved, and kinetics that reflect competition of the reactant alcohols for surface acid sites. Transition state shape selectivity is exemplified in the reaction of 2-pentanol and ethanol in H-ZSM-5 and selectivity due to orthogonality of the S(N)2 pathway to main channel direction in the formation of dimethyl ether in H-mordenite.
