Abstract

The (DIOP)rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of butadiene has been shown to give among the highest selectivities for formation of adipaldehyde, which is useful for the synthesis of nylon. Herein, isomerizing hydroformylation is shown to be a mechanism that is partially responsible for this selectivity and density functional theory studies are used to reveal the detailed pathway for the requisite alkene isomerization.
