METHOD OF REGIOSELECTIVE OBTAINING OF N-PENTANAL Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC C07C47/02 C07C45/50 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to regioselective obtaining of n-pentanal, which is used for obtaining plasticisers, additives to motor oils, synthetic lubricating materials. The method is realised in a medium of an aldehyde-containing solvent by the interaction of synthesis-gas with an industrial butane-butene fraction in the presence of a catalytic system, containing rhodium and a diphosphite ligand, with the reaction being carried out with the content of the aldehyde in the solvent not less than 10 wt %, at temperatures 80-110°C, total pressure 0.7-3 MPa, synthesis-gas pressure 0.5-2.5 MPa, with a molar ratio of hydrogen to carbon oxide being in the range 5.0-0.5, molar ratio diphosphite/Rh being in the range 3-15, and rhodium concentration constituting 30-300 ppm, and the addition into a reaction mixture of antioxidants, selected from bisphenols of general formulas: the content of which constitutes 10-40 mol per 1 g-at. rhodium, where R stands for hydrocarbon univalent radicals or hydrogen.

EFFECT: elaboration of a method of regioselective obtaining of n-pentanal.
