BASIC CATALYST AND PRODUCTION OF CARBONYL COMPOUND DERIVATIVE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an efficient basic catalyst adaptable to aldol reaction, having high activity and capable of producing an objective compd. with high selectivity. ;SOLUTION: A base catalyst obtained by preparing at least one alkali metal compd. selected from the group consisting of alkoxides, hydroxides and oxides of alkali metal and alkaline earth metal oxides within an alkali metal compd./ alkaline earth oxide wt. range of 0.05-1 is used in the condensation reaction of aldehyde to produce a glycol monoester.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1999,JPO
