Abstract
[RhCl(COD)]2 in combination with a water soluble sulphonated pyridyl-triazolyl N,N-bidentate ligand efficiently catalyzes styrene and 1-hexene hydroformylation in water/organic solvent biphasic systems. The catalyst displays a good activity affording mixtures of linear and branched aldehydes with complete chemoselectivity. The aqueous catalytic phase may be recycled four times giving complete substrate conversion by 18h. Mercury-poisoning experiments and transmission electron microscopy indicate that, after the first catalytic run, rhodium is present in the aqueous phase in nanoparticle form.
