Chemists have discovered a new cationic cobalt bisphosphine hydroformylation catalyst system that is highly active and extremely robust. In a new study published in Science, LSU chemistry professor ...

Asymmetric hydroformylation catalysis constitutes a pivotal process in modern synthetic chemistry, enabling the conversion of olefins into chiral aldehydes using transition metal catalysts. The ...

Olefins, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide can be converted to aldehydes by the hydroformylation of olefins. Upon further conversion, chemicals including alcohols, acids, and esters are obtained. However, ...

Asymmetric hydrogenation may be the current gold standard in asymmetric catalysis, but it could face competition from a new family of diphosphine ligands for hydroformylation. Collaborators from the ...

THE original observers of the hydroformylation (Oxo) reaction assumed heterogeneous catalysis. Subsequent workers have attributed, either by specific hypothesis or apparent assumption, both ...
