Abstract

Abstract The ruthenium-catalyzed hydroformylation of 1-and 2-octene to give preferentially the corresponding linear aldehyde is reported. The catalyst system comprising of Ru 3 (CO) 12 and an imidazole-substituted monophosphine ligand allows for high chemo-and regioselectivity. The hydroformylation proceeds with unprecedented rates for a ruthenium- based catalyst.
