Catalytic process for converting methanol and dimethyl ether to higher hydrocarbons comprising contacting the methanol and/or dimethyl ether with an alumina, silica, or zirconia-supported aluminum sulfate catalyst, at an elevated temperature.

Conversion of methanol and dimethyl ether

Catalytic process for converting dimethyl ether and methanol to higher hydrocarbons, comprising contacting the dimethyl ether and/or methanol with an alumina, silica or zirconia-supported zirconium sulfate catalyst, at an elevated temperature.

Conversion of methanol and dimethyl ether to C.sub.2 -C.sub.6

A process for preparing unsaturated organic compounds by reacting an allylic alcohol and a ketone or aldehyde, in the presence of carbon monoxide and a Group VIII metal salt/germanium or tin salt combination catalyst is described. The unsaturated organic compounds are principally unsaturated alcohols having a molecular weight greater than the allylic alcohol reactant.
