Abstract
The preparation of 1,4-butandial (succindialdehyde) is obtained using acrolein. The acrolein is first converted with an alkanol into 3,3-dialkoxy-1-propene and this is then hydroformylated in the presence of hydridotristriphenylphosphine-rhodiumcarbonyl mixed with triphenylphosphine or triphenylphosphite as the catalyst. The thereby obtained 4,4-dialkoxy-butanal is removed from the hydroformylation product by means of distillation and is then hydrolyzed to 1,4-butandial.
