Abstract
A novel continuous homogeneous catalytic system for the long-term testing of hydroformylation in fluorous biphasic systems has been developed. Conversion levels up to 70% were observed, with linear to branched product ratios being around 12, while the fluorous catalyst was successfully recycled to the reactor. Efficient stirring is essential for high conversions for minimising alkene isomerisation. Leaching of the ligand, rhodium and the fluorous solvent into the organic product phase are significant.
