Abstract
Hydroformylation of methylacrylate to alpha-aldehyde can be achieved i n a two-phase system in the presence of two new water-soluble phosphin es. High yields and selectivities of alpha-aldehyde (ca. 80% with a al pha/beta ratio of 1:20) were obtained. Spectroscopic studies have been carried out and some new rhodium complexes formed in situ in catalyti c systems have been identified.
