A way into normality: By using [Cp*Ru] complexes with bisphosphite or bisphosphine ligands, selective hydroformylation of propene and 1-decene to homologated normal aldehydes was accomplished with the highest levels of activity and selectivity ever reported for ruthenium catalyst systems (see scheme). The reaction mechanism was investigated using stoichiometric amounts of [Cp*Ru(Xantphos)H] and [D2]-1-decene.
