Abstract

Acetaldehyde is made by isomerizing ethylene oxide by contacting the ethylene oxide with an oxide catalyst comprising at least one of the oxides of Cr, Si, Al, Mg and W at 100-250 DEG C. in the presence of an inert liquid which boils at a temperature equal to or above the reaction temperature. The preferred catalyst is silica/alumina. Suitable inert liquids are diphenyl, terphenyl, polyphenyls, diphenyl ether, halogenated diphenyls, high boiling petroleum fractions and mixtures thereof. The reaction is suitably effected by bubbling ethylene oxide through a suspension of the catalyst in the inert liquid. The ethylene oxide may be diluted with, e.g., nitrogen.
