Production of (1,3-dioxane)propionaldehyde derivatives

摘要

This invention provides a process for producing 3-(1',3'-dioxane)propionaldehyde or 3-(alkyl-1',3'-dioxane)propionaldehyde in over 70 weight percent yield by the reaction of 2-vinyl-1,3-dioxane or 2-vinyl-alkyl-1,3-dioxane with hydrogen and carbon monoxide under hydroformylating conditions.
