Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a process for preparing oxalic acid and esters of same. More particularly, this invention relates to a catalytic process for preparing oxalic acid and esters of same by oxidative reaction in a liquid phase of carbon monoxide and water or alcohols with oxygen in the presence of redox systems. The catalyst systems used in accordance with this invention comprises a redox catalyst consisting essentially of a salt of Pd (II) and salts of a metal more electropositive than Pd having at least two oxidation states and, optionally, salts of alkaline metals, and co-catalytic amounts of at least one base having the formula R2NH in which the groups R which may be like or unlike are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl radicals having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms.
