Abstract
It is known that in the oxo reaction of butadiene, oRe of the double bonds is usually hydrg t61iadfechn-s, lodion5s, and polyketones were also produced in additipn to the kngwn prg. du. cts, T-h e oxo feaction of butadiene and butene were compared under the same reactidion conditions: h n al ng sM itTTI g s uggested that the formation of ketones may be d. ue. to he c. o-ordinatiop., of 6-1-iiaie-n6M to aiyVl-cobalt-tricarbonyl to give rr-allyl complex and that the other steps of the reac ion would be common for the reactions of butadiene and butene.
itVfi e in6rhaSe in the amount of butadiene resulted in the increased conyersion toi k. etones. Th- Vf5-c-irm Ta-iSo supports the above mechanism. The structures pf she ketones whigh we. re iso "iaVte iYf roilfi ih6 ie action mixture well coincided with those of the ketones expected to be formed if the z-allyl complex mechanism would take place.
Cg-ketones and CA-ketones was achieved.
