Pentaerythritol Production from Acetaldehyde and Formaldehyde
This report presents the economics of industrial Pentaerythritol (PER) production from acetaldehyde and formaldehyde in the United States. The acetaldehyde and formaldehyde are reacted to PER via aldol addition and reduction in alkaline medium, using pentaerythrose as intermediate.

Pentaerythritol Production from Acetaldehyde and Methanol
This study provides the economics of Pentaerythritol production starting from acetaldehyde and methanol in the United States. In this process, methanol is first converted to formaldehyde over a silver catalyst, which is then combined with acetaldehyde in alkaline medium to form Pentaerythritol.
