Summary:PCT No. PCT/US97/05100 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 1, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 1, 1998 PCT Filed Mar. 27, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/36848 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 9, 1997Processes are disclosed for the conversion of propylene to methylmercaptopropanal by converting propylene to acrolein and converting acrolein to methylmercaptopropanal. The processes utilize oxygen and recycle propane to the acrolein reactor. Process feeds can comprise, propane, propylene or mixtures thereof. The presence of propane in the propylene-to-acrolein reaction can enhance the efficiency of the processes.
