HYDROFORMYLATION USING LOW VOLATILE/ORGANIC SOLUBLE PHOSPHINE LIGANDS

摘要

HYDROFORMYLATION USING LOW VOLATILE/ORGANIC SOLUBLE PHOSPHINE LIGANDS An improved non-aqueous hydroformylation process for producing aldehydes which comprises reacting an olefinically unsaturated organic compound with carbon monoxide and hydrogen, in a non-aqueous hydroformylation reaction medium containing an organic solubilized Group VIII transition metal phosphorus ligand complex catalyst and free phosphorus ligand, the improvement comprising employing as the phosphorus ligand of said complex catalyst and as said free phosphorus ligand, an organic soluble monosulfonated tertiary phosphine amine salt ligand.
