The biphasic hydroformylation of linear alkenes using the Rh–TPPTS catalyst system is one of the cornerstones of aqueous biphasic catalysis, but due to mass-transfer limitations its application is restricted to short alkenes. This perspective provides an overview of various alternative approaches which have been developed to extend the aqueous biphasic methodology to the hydroformylation of higher alkenes.
