Procedure
The conversion of the benzaldehyde (bald) amounted to 65.6% and the degree of conversion of octanal to 100%. The selectivities of benzaldehyde and octanal to give α-hexylcinnamaldehyde (α-hex) were 94.9% and 96.2%, respectively, while the selectivity of octanal to give α-hexyldecenal (α-HD) was 1.0%.
