Conventional and Tandem Hydroformylation

Abstract

Transition-metal-catalyzed hydroformylation has become an essential tool for the synthesis of aldehydes. In this paper, we highlight several examples of synthetically useful applications of homogeneous and heterogeneous rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation, as well as several examples of tandem processes involving hydroformylation as a reaction step developed in our laboratory.

Key words

hydroformylation - rhodium - catalysis - tandem reactions
