Abstract

The hydroformylation of linear terminal alkenes using rhodium based catalysts under fluorous biphasic conditions in the presence and absence of toluene is reported. Using fluorinated ponytails to modify triarylphosphites and triarylphosphines, good selectivities and reactivities can be obtained, along with good retention of the catalyst and ligand within the fluorous phase. Using P (O–4-C6H4C6F13) 3 (P/Rh= 3: 1) as the ligand in toluene/ ...
