    Abstract: A method for directly producing ethanol from syngas, carried out in three reaction zones, including: feeding a raw material containing syngas and dimethyl ether into a first reaction zone to contact with a solid acid catalyst, reacting; allowing the effluent from the first reaction zone to enter a second reaction zone to contact with a metal catalyst and react; separating the effluent from the second reaction zone to obtain product ethanol and by-product methanol; allowing by-product methanol to enter a third reaction zone to perform a dehydration reaction to obtain dimethyl ether, and allowing the obtained dimethyl ether to enter the first reaction zone to recycle the reaction. This provides a novel method for directly converting syngas to ethanol and an ethanol product can be directly produced by using syngas as a raw material.

    Abstract: A method for preparing a methyl ester compound is provided, including: subjecting a raw material of a carboxyl compound, methanol and/or dimethyl ether to an esterification reaction to obtain the methyl ester compound, where the general formula I of the carboxyl compound is R—CH2—COOH, where R is a methoxy or hydroxyl; and the methyl ester compound comprises at least one of methyl methoxyacetate and methyl glycolate. This application also discloses a method for preparing a methyl glycolate, comprising the steps of: a) subjecting methylal and carbon monoxide to a carbonylation reaction to obtain methyl methoxyacetate; b) subjecting the methyl methoxyacetate and water to a hydrolysis reaction to obtain the methyl glycolate; and c) subjecting glycolic acid, methoxyacetic acid, methanol, and dimethyl ether to an esterification reaction to obtain the methyl glycolate.
