A process for producing isomerized olefins, branched aldehydes and branched alcohols through isomerization, hydroformylation and hydrogenation.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to processes to improve rhodium accountability in continuous liquid recycle hydroformylation processes. In some embodiments, a process comprises contacting in a reaction zone reactants comprising mixed C8 olefins or mixed C9 olefins, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst comprising rhodium and an organomonophosphite ligand to form a reaction fluid, wherein the reaction fluid is introduced to a strip gas vaporizer to produce a product stream and a vaporizer tails stream, and wherein the vaporizer tails stream comprises at least 1.2 percent by weight C8 internal olefins or at least 1.3 percent by weight C9 internal olefins.
