Claims31
A process for preparing an alkali metal alkoxide, comprising:
- reacting an alkali metal amalgam and an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst comprising a transition metal carbide, nitride or carbonitride, wherein the catalyst is in the form of a powder with a mean particle diameter of 1 to 10 .mu.m, to form the alkali metal alkoxide.
A process for preparing an alkali metal alkoxide, comprising:
- reacting an alkali metal amalgam and an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst comprising a transition metal carbide, nitride or carbonitride, other than tungsten carbide, wherein the catalyst is in the form of a powder, to form the alkali metal alkoxide.
