Silica-supported molybdenum carbide (Mo2C/SiO2) is found to be a highly active, selective and stable catalyst for the hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate to ethanol at low temperatures (473 K). Moreover, the formation of ethanol over the Mo2C catalyst performs via the novel intermediatemethyl acetate instead of ethylene glycol forming over the Cu catalyst.
