Patent number: 6369283Abstract: This invention relates in part to processes for producing one or more substituted or unsubstituted unsaturated alcohols which comprise reacting one or more substituted or unsubstituted alkadienes with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a metal-ligand complex catalyst and a promoter and optionally free ligand to produce said one or more substituted or unsubstituted unsaturated alcohols. The substituted and unsubstituted unsaturated alcohols produced by the processes of this invention can undergo further reaction(s) to afford desired derivatives thereof. This invention also relates in part to reaction mixtures containing one or more substituted or unsubstituted unsaturated alcohols as principal product(s) of reaction.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2000Date of Patent: April 9, 2002Assignee: Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics Technology Corp.Inventors: Anil Sakharam Guram, John Robert Briggs, Kurt Damar Olson, Thomas Carl Eisenschmid, Daine Lee Packett, Erik Bruce Tjaden

Publication number: 20020007096Abstract: This invention relates to processes for producing substituted or unsubstituted alkenols. The process subjects an alkadiene to reductive hydroformylation to selectively produce at least one substituted or unsubstituted alkenols. The process is particularly useful in producing pentenols from butadiene. This invention also relates in part to reaction mixtures containing one or more substituted or unsubstituted alkenols as principal reaction products.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 1997Publication date: January 17, 2002Inventors: DIANE LEE PACKETT, JOHN ROBERT BRIGGS, DAVID ROBERT BRYANT, AILENE GARDNER PHILLIPS, DAVID JAMES SCHRECK, ANIL SAKHARAM GURAM, KURT DAMAR OLSON, THOMAS CARL EISENSCHMID
