Abstract

By using a heterobimetallic catalyst,(CO) 4 (PEtPh 2) W (μ-PPh 2) Rh (CO)(PPh 3), chemoselective hydroformylation of monosubstituted alkenes proceeds efficiently at room temperature under atmospheric pressure of CO/H 2, without affecting functional groups such as disubstituted alkene moieties, aryl and alkenyl iodide moieties, and hydroxy and carboxy groups.
