A process for producing higher ketones comprises the step of contacting under suitable conditions a feed comprising at least one C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 aliphatic aldehyde, and preferably also carbon monoxide, with a catalyst composition comprising (i) copper and/or an oxide thereof and (ii) zinc oxide. Preferably, the feed aldehyde is propanal, and the product comprises at least one C.sub.5 ketone. Ketones are substantially absent from the aldehyde feed.
