The increasing shortage of plant and animal fats for the production of the higher carboxylic acids has necessitated the development of methods for the production of these acids from petroleum. This paper studies the hydrocarboxylation of petroleum olefins in the presence of cobalt carbonyls and the effect of three promoters--pyridine, acetone, and cyclohexanone--on the hydrolysis rate and catalytic behavior of the carbonyls and the subsequent rate of hydrocarboxylation of the olefines. Ethylene is used as the sample olefin. The role of water in the reactions is also assessed.
