Abstract
A process for producing acetaldehyde from ethylene under mild reaction conditions, selectively and with high yield is provided, which process comprises preparing a composite catalyst comprising a complex of a transition metal capable of forming an oxygen complex by coordination of oxygen molecule with the metal ion of the transition metal, and a complex of a transition metal capable of forming an ethylene complex by coordination of ethylene with the metal ion of the transition metal, and oxidizing ethylene activated by forming the ethylene complex with the combined oxygen in the oxygen complex, activated by forming the oxygen complex.
