It was established that the main side products in the condensation of acetaldehyde in the presence of cobalt naphthenate are 3-hydroxybutanal, 2,4- and 2,5-hexadienal, the monoacetate of 1,3-butanediol, and dihydrotoluylaldehyde.From the proposed scheme of side reactions it follows that the majority of the side products are formed in the reaction of 3-hydroxybutanal with acetaldehyde.Realization of the process at an increased temperature with a low initial concentration of acetaldehyde and for short contact times makes it possible to reduce the yield of the side products.
