Abstract

Abstract The hydroformylation of olefinic hydrocarbons is effected by treating the hydrocarbon with hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst system which comprises a cobalt-containing compound chemically bonded to a zeolite-alumina hydrosol dispersion. The reaction is effected at temperatures ranging from about 70° to about 300° C. and pressures ranging from about 1 to about 500 atmospheres.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim 61 words
A process for the hydroformylation of an olefinic hydrocarbon which comprises treating said hydrocarbon with carbon monoxide and hydrogen at hydroformylation conditions in the presence of a catalyst system comprising a cobalt-containing compound chemically bonded to a zeolite-alumina hydrosol dispersion which has been aged at a temperature of from about 30° to about 500° C. and recovering the resultant hydroformylated products.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 61 words
A process for the hydroformylation of an olefinic hydrocarbon which comprises treating said hydrocarbon with carbon monoxide and hydrogen at hydroformylation conditions in the presence of a catalyst system comprising a cobalt-containing compound chemically bonded to a zeolite-alumina hydrosol dispersion which has been aged at a temperature of from about 30° to about 500° C. and recovering the resultant hydroformylated products.
