Abstract
An olefinic compound having n carbon atoms in the molecule is converted into a primary alcohol having 2n+2 carbon atoms by reacting it with hydrogen and carbon monoxide in contact with a cobalt carbonylation catalyst and an aldox catalyst modifier separating a mixture containing dimeric and monomeric aldehydes from the product, separating the monomeric aldehyde from the dimeric aldehyde and catalytically hydrogenating the dimeric aldehyde. The "monomeric" and "dimeric" aldehydes are defined as Cn+1 and C2n+2 aldehydes prepared from Cn olefines. The aldox catalyst modifier comprises Group II metals, especially zinc, Group IV metals or Group VI metals and is preferably used in an oil-soluble form such as the salt of a fatty acid. For the hydrogenation step a suitable catalyst is molybdenum sulphide on charcoal with a temperature of 300 DEG F.-550 DEG F. and a pressure of 1000-3000 p.s.i.g. The monomeric aldehyde may be hydrogenated separately or recycled to the oxo reactor. The invention is described with particular reference to the production of 2-ethyl hexanol from propylene, and C16 alcohols from C7 olefines. Specifications 682,177, 717,446, 742,879 and 776,998 are referred to.
