Continuously increasing oil prices, a dwindling supply of
petroleum, and the existence of extensive reserves of biomass,
especially of coal, have given rise to a growing interest in
generating CO/H from these sources. Catalytic reactions can 2
convert CO/H mixtures to useful hydrocarbons or hydrocarbon
intermediates. 2 There is little doubt that petroleum will remain
the backbone of the organic chemical industry for many years to
come, yet there is great opportunity for CO as an alternative
feedstock at times when it is needed. The loosely defined body of
chemistry and technology contained in these areas of development
has become known as C 1 chemistry, embracing many C 1 building
blocks such as CH , CO/H , CO, CH OH, CO and HCN; still emphasis 4
2 3 2 rests on carbon monoxide. Academic research laboratories, oil
and chemical companies are in the vanguard of C 1 chemistry. The
Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry is sponsoring
a seven-year program of 14 major chemical companies in C 1
chemistry aimed at developing new technology for making basic
chemicals from CO and H2 . It is likely that C 1 chemistry will
develop slowly but persistently and the future holds great
potential.
