Observations of the interstellar CH A-X R2(1) line at 4300.3 Å are presented for 29 lines of sight extending form 140 to 2800 pc in the Galactic plane. A comparison of the CH and H2 column density shows that N(CH) ∝ N(H2) as expected for production of CH by a gas phase reaction network running in molecular hydrogen. The network also reproduces the observed ratio N(CH)/N(H2) for these diffuse interstellar clouds.
