Chiral polymer-supported metal complexes were catalytically active in the hydroformylation of prochiral olefins, but they induced only small optical activity. All the optical rotations in 2-phenylpropanal, obtained by the hydroformylation of styrene, were positive. In studies of asymmetric hydroformylation with homogeneous catalysts, no correlation was found between the optical inductions and ligand structure. Polymer-supported platinum catalysts having similar structure to their homogeneous counterparts showed the same high selectivity toward the formation of straight-chain aldehyde (89-95%) as the homogeneous catalysts in the hydroformylation of 1-hexene. Aldehyde yields were low (up to 45%); no reduction to alcohol occurred.
