Abstract
The use of Co(RCOO)(2) as catalyst precursors makes it possible to syn thesize aldehydes C4H9CHO and alcohols C4H9CH2OH containing iso-alkyl groups from isobutylene and syngas. In this paper, the effects of the unsaturated substrate and cobalt concentrations on the reaction rates were studied. The rate equation was derived on the basis of the mechan ism proposed. It was postulated that this mechanism includes the steps of catalyst formation and olefin hydroformylation. The rate equation accounts for the effects of basic factors on the reaction rate.
