Key Points

To optimize Xantphos-type ligands for better linear selectivity in the hydroformylation process.
Used RhH(CO)(PPh3)3 catalyst under mild conditions.
Investigated hydroformylation of allyl alcohol and related alkenes.
Achieved highly linear-selective product formation of 4-hydroxybutanal.
4-hydroxybutanal is an important industrial solvent and polymer precursor.

Implication

Demonstrates highly linear-selective hydroformylation in alkenes, suggesting improved industrial applications.

Abstract

Xantphos-type ligands enabled the highly linear-selective hydroformylation of allyl alcohol and related alkenes under mild conditions with RhH(CO)(PPh3)3. The product, 4-hydroxybutanal, is widely used as an industrial solvent and polymer...
