Abstract
The vapor phase oxidation of 2-ethylhexanal over a series of oxide catalysts has been studied at 373–623 K. Monolayer vanadia supported on SiO2 and TiO2, molybdena and tungstenia supported on SiO2, and SnO2 were used as the catalysts. In contrast to the liquid phase process, resulting in 2-ethylhexanoic acid, the main observed reaction was reactant combustion. The partial oxidation products were 3-heptanone, 3-heptyl formate, and heptene. No traces of 2-ethylhexanoic acid were detected in any of the transformations performed.
