    Abstract: Producing alkoxylates involves contacting one or more alkylene oxides selected from ethylene, propylene, butylene, pentylene and decene oxides with a starter compound in the presence of a binary metal cyanide compound (I) and performing the reaction at 130-155 degreesC. Producing alkoxylates involves contacting one or more alkylene oxides selected from ethylene, propylene, butylene, pentylene and decene oxides with a starter compound in the presence of a binary metal cyanide compound M1a(M2(CN)b(A)c)d.fM1gXn.h(H2O).eL.kP' (I) and performing the reaction at 130-155 degreesC. M1 = Zn2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Co3+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Sn2+, Pb2+, Mo4+, Mo6+, Al3+, V4+, V5+, Sr2+, W4+, W6+, Cr2+, Cr3+, Cd2+, Hg2+, Pd2+, Pt2+, V2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Cu2+, La3+, Ce3+, Ce4+, Eu3+, Ti3+, Ti4+, Ag+, Rh2+, Rh3+, Ru2+ or Ru3+; M2 = Fe2+, Fe3+, Co3+, Mn2+, Mn3+, V4+, V5+, Cr2+, Cr3+, Rh3+, Ru2+ or Ir3+; A, X = halide, hydroxide, sulfate, carbonate, cyanide, thiocyanate, isocyanate, cyanate, carboxylate, oxalate, nitrate, nitrosyl, bisulfate, phosphate, (di)hydrogen phosphate or bicarbonate; L = a water-soluble alcohol, aldehyde, ketone, ether, polyether, ester, polyester, polycarbonate, urea, amide, amine, pyridine, nitrile, sulfide, phosphide, phosphite, phosphine, phosphonate or phosphate ligand; k, e, f, h = 0 or more; P' = an organic additive; and a, b, c, d, g, n = numbers so that (I) is electrically neutral and c can be zero. An Independent claim is also included for an alkoxylate produced by the novel method.
