Tributylphosphine → HCID 86743891, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A broad naphtha cut previously described was hydroformylated in the presence of a catalyst system containing 10 nM rhodium, employed as dicarbonyl acetylacetonate, and 0.14 M tri-n-butyl phosphine. The reaction was run at 180° under 1000 psi (6900 kPa) pressure for 40 minutes. The initial H2 /CO ratio was 1, the H2 /CO feed ratio employed during the run 1.22 and the final head space ratio 1.95. The increase of the H2 /CO ratio during the run indicated that very little hydrogenation side reaction occurred.
