TL;DR: In this article, the homogeneous catalytic hydrocarbonylation of methanol is comprehensively reviewed and the effects of temperature, CO:H2 partial pressure and additives (such as iodide, second metal and donor-ligands) on the activity and selectivity of the cobalt catalyst are presented and discussed in the light of a proposed reaction mechanism.
