PRODUCTION OF HYDROXYBUTYRALDEHYDE

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide a process for producing hydroxybutyraldehyde in high activity and selectivity. CONSTITUTION:Hydroxybutyraldehyde is produced by the hydroformylation of allyl alcohol in the presence of hydrogen and carbon monoxide using a rhodium complex catalyst containing an organic phosphine compound as a ligand having an electronic parameter nu of 2062-2070cm<-1> and a steric parameter thetaof 120-138 deg..
