Reactions of hydroformylation of allyl alcohol and propene differ cons
iderably. Thus certain peculiar features have been observed in the kin
etic mechanisms of hydroformylation of propene and allyl alcohol in th
e presence of HRh(CO)(PPh)(3) [1, 2]; these include intense oxidation
of the PPh(3) contained in the rhodium catalyst under the action of th
e OH group of allyl alcohol [3], and also differences in regioselectiv
ity when these substrates are used.
