IMPROVED METAL-LIGAND COMPLEX CATALYZED PROCESSES.

摘要

THIS INVENTION RELATES TO A PROCESS WHICH COMPRISES REACTING ONE OR MORE REACTANTS IN THE PRESENCE OF A METAL-ORGANOPOLYPHOSPHITE LIGAND COMPLEX CATALYST TO PRODUCE A REACTION PRODUCT FLUID COMPRISING ONE OR MORE PRODUCTS, WHEREIN SAID PROCESS IS CONDUCTED AT A FREE ORGANOPOLYPHOSPHITE LIGAND CONCENTRATION SUFFICIENT TO PREVENT AND/OR LESSEN HYDROLYTIC DEGRADATION OF THE ORGANOPOLYPHOSPHITE LIGAND AND DEACTIVATION OF THE METAL-ORGANOPOLYPHOSPHITE LIGAND COMPLEX CATALYST.
