Abstract
A process of aldol condensation of an active hydrogen-containing compound by a gas-phase reaction by feeding a gaseous active hydrogen-containing compound to a reactor provided with a fixed bed solid catalyst, which process is characterized in that an indirect heat transfer type, non-isothermal reactor is used to perform the aldol condensation efficiently in a commercial scale.
Claims13
A process for aldol condensation of an active hydrogen-containing compound comprising:
- feeding a gaseous active hydrogen-containing compound to an indirect heat transfer type, non-isothermal reactor which is provided with a fixed bed solid catalyst whereby the aldol condensate of said active hydrogen-containing compound is obtained.
