Abstract
This invention relates in part to processes for producing one or more substituted or unsubstituted saturated alcohols which comprise reacting one or more substituted or unsubstituted alkadienes with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a metal-ligand complex catalyst and a promoter and optionally free ligand to produce said one or more substituted or unsubstituted saturated alcohols. The substituted and unsubstituted saturated alcohols produced by the processes of this invention can undergo further reaction(s) to afford desired derivatives thereof. This invention also relates in part to reaction mixtures containing one or more substituted or unsubstituted saturated alcohols as principal product(s) of reaction.
