La présente invention concerne un procédé d'obtention de produits d'hydroformylation d'oléfines, procédé selon lequel : a) on introduit, dans une première zone de réaction, une charge contenant des oléfines, ainsi que du monoxyde de carbone et de l'hydrogène, que l'on fait réagir en présence d'un premier système catalyseur ; b) on sépare, du produit extrait de la première zone de réaction, un courant de liquide constitué essentiellement d'oléfines n'ayant pas réagi et éventuellement d'hydrocarbures saturés ; c) et l'on introduit le courant de liquide obtenu à l'étape b), ainsi que du monoxyde de carbone et de l'hydrogène, dans une seconde zone de réaction, et on les fait réagir en présence d'un second système catalyseur.
