Hydroformylation of hex-1-ene in supercritical carbon dioxide catalysed by rhodium trialkylphosphine complexes
Abstract
Triethylphosphine complexes of rhodium catalyse the hydroformylation of hex-1-ene in supercritical carbon dioxide at rates similar to those obtained in toluene, but with a slightly improved n:i ratio; using trioctylphosphine, much lower rates are observed.
