Porous organic polymer supported rhodium as a heterogeneous catalyst for hydroformylation of alkynes to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes†
Abstract
A new porous organic polymer supported rhodium catalyst (Rh/POL-BINAPa&PPh3) has been developed for the hydroformylation of various alkynes to afford the corresponding α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with high chem- and stereoselectivity, excellent catalytic activity and good reusability (10 cycles). The heterogeneous catalyst exhibited more catalytic activity than the comparable homogeneous Rh/BINAPa/PPh3 system.
