9. 3) to which was added MsOH (0.2 mmol). The resulting solution was introduced into the autoclave which had been purged and evacuated. The solution was heated to 80 °C and then an equimolar mixture of ethene and CO was admitted to a total pressure of 10 atm from a reservoir. The reaction was maintained under these conditions for 3 h. The pressure in the reservoir was recorded to give a constant indication of reaction rate. At the end of the period the autoclave was cooled, vented carefully and the contents weighed and analysed by GC using a Perkin-Elmer Autosystem XL fitted with a semi polar CPSIL 19 column, 60 m length.
