Neopentyl Glycol Production
This report presents the economics of Neopentyl Glycol production from isobutyraldehyde, formaldehyde and hydrogen, assuming a conventional industrial process, located in the United States. In this process, formaldehyde and isobutyraldehyde are reacted via aldol condensation to form hydroxypivaldehyde, which is then converted to Neopentyl Glycol via catalytic hydrogenation.
