A method for producing mixed aldol products from the products of hydroformylation reactions. In one embodiment, the method comprises mixing hydroformylation reaction products comprising aldehydes with a catalyst inside a reactor to create a mixture. The method also includes agitating the mixture at a temperature in a range of between about 200° F. to about 275° F. to create a reacted mixture. The reacted mixture is then cooled in the reactor to create an organic phase and an aqueous phase. The organic phase is pumped out of the reactor and may then be transferred to a distillation tower. The organic phase may be distilled until any mixed aldol products are isolated, wherein the mixed aldol products may be subsequently removed.
一种从氢甲酰化反应产物中制备混合醛缩产物的方法。在一种实施例中,该方法包括将包含醛的氢甲酰化反应产物与催化剂混合在反应器内以创建混合物。该方法还包括在温度范围在约200°F至约275°F之间搅拌混合物以创建反应混合物。然后在反应器中冷却反应混合物以创建有机相和
水相。有机相从反应器中抽出并可以转移到蒸馏塔。可以将有机相蒸馏直至分离出任何混合醛缩产物,其中混合醛缩产物可以随后被移除。
