Production of unsaturated ketones by the aldol condensation of ketones such as acetone or methyl ethyl ketone by contacting the ketone in the vapor phase with a particulate catalyst comprising at least one basic alkali metal compound supported on an inert substrate at a temperature above 175° C. The produce ketones may be hydrogenated to form saturated ketones or alcohols.
