Abstract

The hydroformylation of olefins is one of the largest industrial applications of homogeneous catalysis and results in the production of millions of tons of aldehydes per year.[1] These aldehydes constitute useful intermediates, but are rarely the final objective of the industrial chemist, because they are usually reduced to the corresponding alcohols. In particular linear alcohols have tremendous industrial applications as solvents but also as raw materials for ...
