Reaction Steps
Many aldehydes form an azeotrope with water. For example, hexanal and water form an azeotrope that boils at 91° C. Hexanol and hexanoic acid likewise form azeotropes with water, which boil at 97.8° C. and 99.9° C., respectively. Despite the fact that the boiling points are close together, the distillation process is surprisingly free of problems. Pure fractions of alcohol and aldehyde can be collected.
