Abstract

The complex [RhH (PEt3) 3] catalysed the hydroformylation of hex-1-ene to heptanal and 2- methylhexanal in toluene, but heptanol and 2-methylhexanol were significant products in tetrahydrofuran especially over long reaction times (16h). In protic solvents only alcohols were produced even after short reaction times. The reactions are very rapid and also occur readily with alkenes such as hex-2-ene, propene, ethene, styrene and 3, 3- ...
