Reaction conditions: a weight percentage of catalyst = 15%, T = 200 °C, P = 3 MPa, t = 6 h. X: conversion; S: selectivity. V: n-valeraldehyde; PO: n-pentanol; 2-PHEA: 2-propyl-2-heptenal; 2-PHA: 2-propylheptanal; 2-PH: 2-propylheptanol.
The yield of n-pentanol, 2-propyl-2-heptenal, 2-propylheptanal and 2-propylheptanol was respectively 4.6%, 66.5%, 15.9% and 0%.
