Abstract
Abstract An improved process for the production of α,ω-dialdehydes by reaction of linear α,ω-diolefins having isolated double bonds with carbon monoxide and hydrogen at elevated temperature and at superatmospheric pressure in the presence of a cobalt carbonyl complex in which the improvement consists in supplying the cobalt to the reaction as cobalt carbonyl hydride dissolved in the α,ω-diolefin to be used or in an inert organic solvent and carrying out the reaction at a temperature of from 70° to 130°C.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
An improved process for the production of an α,ω-dialdehyde by reaction of a linear α,ω-diolefin having isolated double bonds with carbon monoxide and hydrogen at elevated temperature and at superatmospheric pressure in the presence of a cobalt carbonyl complex, wherein the improvement comprises supplying the cobalt to the reaction in the form of cobalt carbonyl hydride which is dissolved in the α,ω-diolefin to be used or in an inert organic solvent and carrying out the reaction at a temperature of from 70° to 130°C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
84 words
An improved process for the production of an α,ω-dialdehyde by reaction of a linear α,ω-diolefin having isolated double bonds with carbon monoxide and hydrogen at elevated temperature and at superatmospheric pressure in the presence of a cobalt carbonyl complex, wherein the improvement comprises supplying the cobalt to the reaction in the form of cobalt carbonyl hydride which is dissolved in the α,ω-diolefin to be used or in an inert organic solvent and carrying out the reaction at a temperature of from 70° to 130°C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein a temperature of from 100° to 120°C is maintained.
