Question

The incorrect statement regarding oxo process for synthesis of an aldehyde is

• A. This process can also be used in the same manner for the synthesis of ketone
• B. $CO_2\left(CO\right)_g$ may be used as a catalyst
• C. $\left[CO\left(CO\right)_{4}H\right]$may act as a catalyst
• D. Mixture of $CO$ and $H_2$ is allowed to react with an alkene

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

In an oxo process, formylation (addition of $H$ and $CHO$) of double bond takes place, hence ketones cannot be synthesised in direct oxo process
