[0004] At present, the synthesis methods of trans-2-octenal mainly include the following three kinds: one is to use hexanal and phosphorus ylide to prepare by Witting reaction; two is to synthesize by aldol condensation reaction of hexanal and acetaldehyde; three is to obtain by addition of hexanal and vinyl ether under catalysis of boron trifluoride ether and then hydrolysis. These methods generally have the following defects: first, the reaction needs to use raw materials with high price such as Witting reagent, boron trifluoride and its ether complex, and the production cost is high. Secondly, by-products such as triphenyl phosphine oxide are produced in the reaction process, which not only increases the difficulty of separation and purification of the product, but also causes waste of resources from the angle of atomic utilization due to its large molecular weight.
