PROCEDE POUR L'HYDROFORMYLATION D'OLEFINES POUR LA PREPARATION D'ALDEHYDES

摘要

The hydroformylation of olefins to produce aldehydes is disclosed employing an ionic metal complex catalyst where the ionic charge is on either the metal or on a ligand in a polar solvent followed by extracting the aldehyde by means of a hydrocarbon solvent to minimize any deleterious effect on the catalyst which can occur when the aldehyde is separated by other means such as distillation.
