Then, the atmosphere inside the autoclave was replaced with a gaseous mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide at a molar ratio of 1/1. The pressure inside the autoclave was adjusted to 90 atmospheric pressure (gauze pressure) with the same gaseous mixture and the temperature inside the autoclave was raised to 80° C. The hydroformylation was effected for 2 hours at 80° C. while maintaining the pressure inside the autoclave at 90 atmospheric pressure (gauze pressure) with the gaseous mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide at a molar ratio of 1/1. Analysis of the reaction solution with gas chromatography under the same conditions of Example 1 showed that the conversion of the 3,4-diacetoxy-1-butene was 44% and the selectivity to the hydroformylated product was 99%. The anaysis also showed that the reaction solution contained 13.55 g (67 mmol) of 1,2-diacetoxy-3-formylbutane and 8.29 g (41 mmol) of 4,5-diacetoxypentanal and 3.55 g (25 mmol) of 3-methyl-4-oxo-2-butenyl acetate which was formed by the elimination of acetic acid from 1,2-diacetoxy-3-formylbutane. The ratio i/n was 2.2 (=69/31), wherein 3-methyl-oxo-2-butenyl acetate was calculated as 1,2-diacetoxy-3-formylbutane.
