Hydroformylation of 1-octene under atmospheric pressure catalyzed by rhodium carbonyl thiolate complexes tethered to silica
- Iowa State Univ., Ames, IA (United States). Dept. of Chemistry
The silica-tethered rhodium thiolate complex catalysts Rh-S/SiO{sub 2} and Rh-S-P/SiO{sub 2} were prepared by the condensation of SiO{sub 2} with Rh{sub 2}[{mu}-S(CH{sub 2}){sub 3}Si(OCH{sub 3}){sub 3}]{sub 2}(CO){sub 4} (Rh-S) or Rh{sub 2}[{mu}-S(CH{sub 2}){sub 3}Si(OCH{sub 3}){sub 3}]{sub 2}[Ph{sub 2}P(CH{sub 2}){sub 3}Si(OC{sub 2}H{sub 5}){sub 3}]{sub 2}(CO){sub 2} (Rh-S-P). These tethered complex catalysts exhibit high activity for the hydroformylation of 1-octene in the presence of phosphine donor ligands under the mild conditions of 60 C and 1 atm. IR (DRIFT) spectral studies of the catalysts used indicate that tethered monorhodium dicarbonyl thiolate complexes of the type Rh(SR)(CO){sub 2}(PR{prime}{sub 3}) are the predominant species on the surface for the catalysts that have the highest hydroformylation activity. The catalysts are easily separated from the reaction mixtures, and the Rh-S/SiO{sub 2} catalyst maintains its activity through at least three cycles over a total period of 69 h, during which time there are 1273 (mol of aldehyde/mol of Rh) turnovers. Effects of the phosphine ligand and PR{prime}{sub 3}/Rh mole ratio on the hydroformylation rate, conversion, and chemo- and regioselectivity for aldehyde products were also investigated.
