ABSTRACT:
Production of essentially pure Z-11-hexadecenal by azeotropic distillation is described. Contacting a mixture of Z-11-hexadecenal, hexadecene and hexadecadiene with dimethylsulfoxide and subjecting the blend to azeotropic distillation allows for the removal of hydrocarbon impurities from the aldehyde. Contacting a mixture of Z-11-hexadecenal and hexadecenol with a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 glycol and subjecting the blend to azeotropic distillation conditions allows for the recovery of a glycol-aldehyde azeotrope from which essentially pure aldehyde is readily recovered. A mixture comprising Z-11-hexadecenal, hexadecene, hexadecadiene and hexadecenol can be sequentially treated according to the above-described azeotropic distillation steps in order to provide essentially pure Z-11-hexadecenal.
