HYDROFORMYLATION PROCESS WITH PLATINUM (O) CATALYST

摘要

Hydroformylation process for preparing aldehydes by reactively contacting an olefin and syngas, at elevated temperature and pressure, in the presence of a catalyst comprising a mixture of (1) a platinum complex of the formula Pt(Q R3)m where Q is a Group VA element, R is alkyl, alkoxyl, aryl or aryloxyl and m is an integer of from 2 to 4, and (2) a metal halide of the formula MXn where M is a Group IVB metal, X is a halogen and n is 2 or 4.
