Abstract

Hydroformylation of alkenes is, despite the high costs of the rhodium or cobalt catalysts employed, the great success story of homogeneous catalysis, with 7 million tons of aldehydes produced every year. 1,2 On the contrary, alkynes hydroformylation is restricted to the field of academic synthesis despite the value of the resulting enals. 3–6 The reaction conditions required can compare with those of alkenes hydroformylation but the regioselectivities are usually ...
