Catalysts used to convert ethylene to vinyl acetate are closely related to those used to produce acetaldehyde from ethylene. Acetaldehyde was first produced industrially by the hydration of acetylene, but novel catalytic systems developed cooperatively by Farbwerke Hoechst and Wacker-Chemie have been used successfully to oxidize ethylene to acetaldehyde, and this process is now well established (7). However, since the largest use for acetaldehyde is as an intermediate in the production of acetic acid, the recent announcement of new processes for producing acetic acid from methanol and carbon monoxide leads one to speculate as to whether ethylene will continue to be the preferred raw material for acetaldehyde (and acetic acid). 

Heme coenzymes, iron-sulfur clusters, flavin coenzymes, and nicotinamide coenzymes cooperate in multienzyme systems to catalyze the chemically remarkable hy-droxylations of hydrocarbons such as steroids (chapter 20). In these hydroxylation systems, the heme proteins constitute a family of proteins known as cytochrome P450, named for the wavelength corresponding to the most intense absorption band of the carbon monoxide-liganded heme, an inhib-... 

There have been several recent reports of the reduction of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide by transition metal complexes. Maher and Cooper (2/) have reported that several metal carbonyl dianions can effect the disproportionation of C02 to metal bound carbon monoxide [Eq. (37)] with Li2C03...
