Abstract

Abstract: Alkyl acrylates have been hydroformylated to the linear aldehydes with high regioselectivity (linear/branch> 99/1) and extraordinarily high average turnover frequencies (up to 5400 hÀ1) by using a rhodium complex with a tetraphosphorus ligand. This protocol is in sharp contrast to the most of other processes that favor production of the branched aldehyde (typically> 95% branched for most Rh-catalyzed reaction systems). The high ...
