The present invention concerns a process to carry out an ester hydrolysis wherein the ester compound (c) is made from at least an alcohol (a) and a carboxylic acid (b), and wherein said alcohol (a) and said carboxylic acid (b) are forming a biphasic liquid system when mixed together; comprising at least a step of producing an ester compound (c)/water emulsion by using as stabilizing species amphiphilic solid particles of nanometric dimension and optionally a catalyst X.

Hydrolysis of an ester compound

The present invention concerns a process for the production of an aldehyde compound by an oxidation reaction of an alcohol compound in the presence of a mesostructured vanadium phosphorus mixed oxide catalyst, at a temperature comprised between 50&#xb0; C. and 200&#xb0; C., in presence of an oxidant. The reaction medium may also comprise a solvent.
