Rhodium-phosphite Catalysed Hydroformylation of Camphene and Other Terpenes

With homogeneous Rh, Co, and Pt metal complexes, the hydroformylation of camphene and other terpenes has been studied. The catalyst system of Rh(CO)2(acac)/P(OPh)3 was found to be very active with almost complete selectivity for aldehyde products. The position of ligands, solvents, Rh:P ratio and conditions of reaction to camphene hydroformylation activity and selectivity have been evaluated. Camphene hydroformylation kinetics were investigated in the presence of the catalyst [Rh(CO)2(acac)]/P(OPh)3 in a temperature range of 363-383K.
