Abstract

Oxo alcohols having a low aldehyde content are produced by reacting hydrogen and carbon monoxide with an olefin in the presence of a hydroformylation catalyst at an elevated temperature and pressure to obtain a mixture containing an aldehyde having one more carbon atom than the olefin, subjecting the hydroformylation reaction mixture to catalytic hydrogenation to obtain a product containing an alcohol and unreacted aldehyde, removing therefrom polymer formed during the hydroformylation and hydrogenation reactions, removing from the polymer-free product olefin not converted to aldehyde, removing from the olefine-free product a first out boiling in the range 66-218 DEG C. and thereafter treating the remaining product with an alkali metal borohydride to reduce the aldehyde content of the remaining product. The remaining product is preferably treated with the borohydride at a temperature of 10-121 DEG C. and a pressure of 0-70 kilogrammes/sq. cm. gauge. The preferred olefines for use as starting materials are those containing 3-20 carbon atoms. The hydrocarbonylation reaction is preferably carried out at 149-191 DEG C. and 210-350 kgs./sq. cm. in the presence of a cobalt salt of an organic acid as catalyst. The hydroformylation product may be demetalled by heating it to a temperature sufficient to decompose the metal compounds and collecting the free metal on an inert material such as pumice. The demetalled product is then passed into a reactor packed with a hydrogenation catalyst such as nickel at a temperature of about 149-204 DEG C. and a pressure of 3.5-350 kgs./sq. cm. and the product treated as described above.
