Hydroformylation catalyzed by immobilized rhodium complex to polymer support

Conference ·
OSTI ID:370711

The concept of hydroformylation by immobilized rhodium complexes on solid support has received a certain amount of attention, as revealed by many literature and patents. Polymers such as styrene-divinyl benzene and inorganic compounds functionalized by phosphine or amines have been used as supports. This study reports on the use of divinylbenzene crosslinked with vinyl pyridine as the support. Three types of rhodium complexes were prepared and their properties and activities for the hydroformylation of propylene and 1-octene were studied at 100-130{degrees}C, 30-90 Kg/cm{sup 2} and H{sub 2}/CO=1. This novel catalyst has both hydroformylation activity and insignificant rhodium leaching.
