ORGANOPHOSPHORUS COMPOUND HAVING POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL STRUCTURE AND CATALYST FOR HYDROFORMYLATING REACTION USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new organophosphorus compound useful as a ligand of a catalyst smoothly hydroformylating an olefin even when a water-insoluble olefin is used as a raw material for the hydroformylating reaction and a catalyst for the hydroformylating reaction composed of the compound and a group 8 transition metal complex.

SOLUTION: The organophosphorus compound is represented by general formula (1) R1R2PA(CH2)n(OCH2CH2)mR3(1) (wherein, R1and R2denote each an alkyl group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group or an alkoxy group; R1and R2are bound to form a ring; R3denotes hydroxy group or a lower alkoxy group; A denotes phenylene group or methylene group; n denotes 5-30; and m denotes 3-300). The catalyst for the hydroformylating reaction comprises the organophosphorus compound and the group 8 transition metal complex.
