Title: Process for removing hydroperoxides and aldehydes from allyl alkyl ethers
Inventor: ABATIOGLOU ANTHONY GEORGE
IPC: C07C41/44
Filed: 1982-03-10
Granted: 1987-03-12
Abstract: Described herein is a process for the conversion of hydroperoxides, present in alkyl-alkyl ethers to products including  alpha , beta -unsaturated aldehydes and for reducing such  alpha , beta -unsaturated aldehydes to alcohols prior to the use of the ether as a feedstock in a hydroformylation reaction to produce the corresponding ether aldehyde. The process involves contacting the ether with a metal hydride, either in aqueous solution and/or by means of an ion exchange resin. Such treatment decomposes the hydroperoxides and then reduces their  alpha , beta -unsaturated aldehyde decomposition products, thereby reducing the catalyst inhibition period present in the hydroformylation reaction which is observed when such  alpha , beta -unsaturated aldehyde impurities are present.
