Hydroformylation of Internal Olefins to Linear Aldehydes with Novel Rhodium Catalysts

Abstract
Unprecedented high activities and selectivities were observed in the hydroformylation of internal octenes to linear products using rhodium catalysts with rigid diphosphane ligands. Dibenzophosphole 1 and a phenoxaphosphane analogue with bite angles of 120 and 119°, respectively, are suited for this.
