<p>A process in which an alpha-olefin containing n carbon atoms is reacted with hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the presence of a complex rhodium-containing catalyst and a base to form aldehydes containing 2n+2 carbon atoms, wherein the reaction is conducted at a temperature and pressure sufficient to remove at least part of the product from the reaction mixture by vaporization or stripping. A process is also disclosed in which an alpha-olefin containing n carbon atoms is reacted with hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the presence of a complex rhodium-containing catalyst not containing halogen, free ligand and Lewis base to form aldehyde containing n+1 carbon atoms, wherein the reaction is conducted at a temperature and pressure sufficient to remove at least part of the product from the reaction mixture by vaporization. </p> |
