    摘要: A process is provided for the preparation of polymethylol compounds of formula (I): (HOCH2)2—C—(R)2 ,   (I) in which the radicals R independently of one another are each a further methylol group, an alkyl group having from 1 to 22 C atoms or an aryl or aralkyl group having from 6 to 22 C atoms, by (a) condensing aldehydes having from 2 to 24 C atoms with formaldehyde in an aldol reaction using tertiary amines as a catalyst to give alkanals of formula (II): in which the radicals R independently of one another are each as defined above, (b) then separating, by distillation, the reaction mixture obtained into a bottom product comprising predominantly the compounds of formula II and a low-boiling stream consisting of unconverted or partially converted starting materials, and (c) hydrogenating the distillation bottom, wherein the aldol reaction is carried out with an aqueous formaldehyde solution having a methanol content of 0.35 to 0.5% by weight of methanol, the low-boiling stream is separated off at a pressure of 1 to 3 bar and temperatures of 100 to 135° C. and completely or partially recycled into the aldol reaction. This procedure advantageously makes it possible specifically to prevent the formation of by-products and hence to increase the yield of the desired polymethylol compound.We have found that this object is achieved by a process for the preparation of polymethylol compounds of formula (I): (HOCH2)2—C—(R)2 ,   (I) in which the radicals R independently of one another are each a further methylol group, an alkyl group having from 1 to 22 C atoms or an aryl or aralkyl group having from 6 to 22 C atoms, by (a) condensing aldehydes having from 2 to 24 C atoms with formaldehyde in an aldol reaction using tertiary amines as a catalyst to give alkanals of formula (II): in which the radicals R independently of one another are each as defined above, (b) then separating, by distillation, the reaction mixture obtained (aldolization product) into a bottom product comprising predominantly the compounds of formula II and a low-boiling stream consisting of unconverted or partially converted starting materials, and (c) hydrogenating the distillation bottom, wherein the aldol reaction is carried out with an aqueous formaldehyde solution having a methanol content of 0.35 to 0.5% by weight, the separation of the low-boiling stream is effected at a pressure of 1.1 to 3 bar, preferably 1.5 bar, and a temperature of 100 to 135° C., preferably of 102 to 125° C., and the low-boiling stream is completely or partially recycled into the aldol reaction, preferably the entire low-boiling stream being recycled. In the aldol reaction, a partially converted starting compound of formula (III): can also be formed in which the radicals R independently of one another are each hydrogen or are as defined above. According to the invention, this partially converted starting compound of formula (III), together with the desired alkanal of formula (II), is separated from the other by-products and the unreacted starting compounds and reacted again in an aldol reaction with formaldehyde having a methanol content of 0.35% by weight to 0.5% by weight, using tertiary amines as a catalyst.
