921. ------. [HAGEMEYER, H. J.] (Eastman Kodak Co.). Processes for the Production of Oxygenated Compounds. United States Patent 2,576,113, Nov. 27, 1951: appl. filed Apr. 22. 1948., Serial No. 22, 713; 8 claims (Cl. 260-604). Chem. Abs., vol. 46, 1952, p. 5074.

Describes method for producing oxygenated organic compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, and the like, specifically carbonyl compounds such as propionaldehyde and butyraldehyde, by reacting an aliphatic olefin with CO and H₂. Reaction is carried out at elevated temperatures and pressures within the range 50º-250º and 40-700 atm. in the presence of a buffered metalsalt catalyst containing a H₂O-soluble salt of Co or Fe with a buffering agent consisting essentially of an alkali metal salt of an aliphatic carboxylic acid. The preferred catalyst materials are the Co and Fe salts of the lower aliphatic carboxylic acids and Co basic carbonate. Promoters are usually employed in the form of salts of the aliphatic carboxylic acids. A typical catalyst composition contains 20 parts of Co acetate, 6 of Na acetate, 2 Mg acetate, and 0.75 part of Th acetate dissolved in H2O. Gives 13 typical examples.
