This invention relates to a process for converting saturated aliphatic primary alcohols to aldehydes by passing said alcohols over a fixed bed of brass catalyst particles at a temperature ranging from about 375 DEG to about 550 DEG C. in the presence of hydrogen passing over the bed at a gaseous hourly space velocity of greater than about 250 hour-1 and recovering the product aldehyde from an effluent passing out of the fixed bed.
