Unexpected non-influence of the phosphine/rhodium ratio on the activity and selectivity of rhodium–phosphine hydroformylation catalysts
Abstract
The activity and regioselectivity of rhodium hydroformylation catalysts containing 1,2,5-triphenylphosphole as ligand are independent of the Rh/1,2,5-triphenylphosphole ratio in the catalytic hydroformylation of alkenes.
