    Abstract: A process and a preparation plant can prepare methacrolein from formaldehyde and propionaldehyde in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst mixture based at least on an acid and a base. For a good workup of the reaction mixture leaving the reactor, with a good energy balance and where the process has simplified apparatus implementation, the liquid reaction mixture under pressure is expanded in an expansion vessel and separated into a first expansion mixture in a gas phase and a second expansion mixture in a liquid phase. The first expansion mixture is condensed in a first condenser and the second expansion mixture is introduced into a first distillation column and separated therein, into a first distillation mixture in a gas phase at the top and a second distillation mixture in a liquid phase at the bottom. The first distillation mixture is condensed in the first condenser.
