Most of it is made from carbon monoxide, either by heating it with sodium hydroxide to produce sodium formate, which is then acidified, or via the base-catalyzed reaction of CO and methanol to make ...

Our new model overpredicts the abundance of acetic acid and formic acid by about a factor of ten, which might imply a yet incomplete reaction network.

Photoreduction of CO2 into transportable fuel like formic acid (HCOOH) is a great way of dealing with CO2's rising levels in the atmosphere. To aid in this mission, a research team chose an easily ...

Acetic anhydride is an organic compound with the formula CH3CO2O. It is the simplest isolable anhydride of carboxylic acid and is widely used as a reagent in organic synthesis. Acetic anhydride ...

The reactions produced a mixture of acetic acid, formic acid, and methanol. By optimizing the conditions, the team boosted the selectivity for acetic acid to 70% at just 150 °C.

Researchers develop efficient paired electrolysis system to produce formic acid from CO₂ and methanol feedstocks by Liu Jia, Chinese Academy of Sciences Editors' notes ...

Metformin is one of the most commonly used drugs in the treatment of diabetes type 2. It is a biguanide. This application note describes the assay of metformin hydrochloride in compliance with USP ...

Methyl formate, a clear, volatile liquid, is the simplest carboxylate ester. It can be made in the lab by the acid-catalyzed esterification of formic acid and methanol. Industrially, it is produced by ...
