Hydroformylation of alkenes in supercritical carbon dioxide catalysed by rhodium trialkylphosphine complexes†
Abstract
Rhodium complexes modified by simple trialkylphosphines can be used to carry out homogeneous −
n (n = 3 or 1) and P(OPh)3 impart activity despite their complexes only being poorly soluble in scCO2. Under subcritical conditions, using PEt3 as the
