A high yield of straight chain aldehydes, relative to branched chain aldehydes, is obtained by limiting the supply of carbon monoxide to the reaction to a value where the rate of reaction is dependent upon the concentration of carbon monoxide in the homogeneous catalysis of the hydrocarbonylation of hydrocarbon alpha olefins using a catalyst comprising a complex between an organic ligand and a Group VIII noble metal hydride or halide carbonyl. The reaction is performed at mild conditions including temperatures from 50 DEG -200 DEG C. and pressures from 1 to 10,000 atmospheres to produce aldehydes. The aldehydes are useful as intermediates for hydrogenation to aliphatic alcohols, for aldol condensation to produce plasticizers, for oxidation to produce aliphatic acids, etc. |
