A method for producing mixed aldol products from the products of hydroformylation reactions. In one embodiment, the method comprises mixing hydroformylation reaction products comprising aldehydes with a catalyst inside a reactor to create a mixture. The method also includes agitating the mixture at a temperature in a range of between about 200 F. to about 275 F. to create a reacted mixture. The reacted mixture is then cooled in the reactor to create an organic phase and an aqueous phase. The organic phase is pumped out of the reactor and may then be transferred to a distillation tower. The organic phase may be distilled until any mixed aldol products are isolated, wherein the mixed aldol products may be subsequently removed.
