This report presents the economics of 2-Propylheptanol (2-PH) production from butenes and syngas located in the United States. Initially, butenes react with syngas in a hydroformylation reaction, yielding n-valeraldehyde. This step uses a conventional OXO-alcohol technology. Then, the valeraldehyde is submitted to an aldolization, forming 2-Propyl-2-heptenal and water. Finally, the 2-Propyl-2-heptenal is hydrogenated, yielding 2-PH.
This report presents the economics of 2-Propylheptanol (2-PH) production from n-valeraldehyde in the United States. In this process, the valeraldehyde feed is first submitted to an aldolization reaction, catalyzed by sodium hydroxide, which converts two molecules of valeraldehyde into 2-Propyl-2-heptenal and water. Then, the 2-Propyl-2-heptenal is hydrogenated, yielding 2-PH.
