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

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) CO2(CO)g may be used as a catalyst (C) [CO(CO)4H]may act as a catalyst (D) Mixture of CO and H2 is allowed to react with an alkene

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

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

This process can also be used in the same manner for the synthesis of ketone

$C O_{2} (CO)_{g}$ may be used as a catalyst

$[CO (CO)_{4} H]$ may act as a catalyst

Mixture of $CO$ and $H_{2}$ is allowed to react with an alkene

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