Unsaturated aliphatic aldehyde synthesis: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Low selectivity in multi-step terpene synthesis leads to high byproduct waste and purification costs. These innovations utilize specific catalytic pathways to control the carbon-carbon bond formation and oxidation states of C10 and C5 intermediates.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Unsaturated aliphatic aldehyde synthesis?

Low product yield and purity

(20)evidences

Unsaturated aliphatic aldehyde synthesis suffers from poor selectivity and the formation of unwanted isomers. Improving purity and yield reduces downstream separation costs and feedstock waste.

Low precursor conversion efficiency

(16)evidences

Inefficient conversion rates and poor selectivity in multi-step hydrocarbon and carbonyl synthesis. Improving yield reduces feedstock waste and downstream separation complexity.

Low macrocyclic precursor yields

(9)evidences

Inefficient chemical conversion and poor selectivity during complex bicyclic and quinone synthesis. Improving yield reduces waste and lowers production costs for high-value intermediates.
