Disclosed is an adduct between a Lewis acid, preferably aluminum trichloride, iron trichloride, or zinc dichloride, and a hydrosilane;—a method for preparing same; and a method for for reducing, particularly, an aldehyde, a ketone, an α,β-unsaturated ketone, an imine, or an α,β-unsaturated imine.

The present disclosure provides a process. In an embodiment, the process includes providing a purge stream composed of octene isomers. The process includes subjecting the purge stream to hydroformylation conditions, and forming a reaction product composed of nonanals.

A Ni—Al.sub.2O.sub.3@Al.sub.2O.sub.3—SiO.sub.2 catalyst with coated structure is provided. The catalyst has a specific surface area of 98 m.sup.2/g to 245 m.sup.2/g, and a pore volume of 0.25 cm.sup.3/g to 1.1 cm.sup.3/g. A mass ratio of an Al.sub.2O.sub.3 carrier to active component Ni in the catalyst is Al.sub.2O.sub.3:Ni=100:4˜26, a mass ratio of the Al.sub.2O.sub.3 carrier to an Al.sub.2O.sub.3—SiO.sub.2 coating layer is Al.sub.2O.sub.3:Al.sub.2O.sub.3—SiO.sub.2=100:0.1˜3, and a molar ratio of Al to Si in the Al.sub.2O.sub.3—SiO.sub.2 coating layer is 0.01 to 1. Ni particles are distributed on a surface of the Al.sub.2O.sub.3 carrier in an amorphous or highly dispersed state and have a grain size less than or equal to 8 nm, and the coating layer is filled among the Ni particles.
