Abstract

A new catalytic system formed of RhCl₃, 3H₂O as a catalyst and triethyl orthoformate, HC(OEt)₃, as a solvent showed high catalytic activity in the reaction of hydroformylation of aryl, terminal and internal alkyl alkenes, and also cycloalkenes. The addition of the triphenyl phosphite, P(OPh)₃, increased the selectivity toward the branched aldehydes with aryl alkenes.
