A1 Transition Metal Catalysed Hydroformylation and Hydroesterification of Petro- and Oleochemical Starting Materials with Temperature Controlled Catalyst Separation in Gas/liquid/liquid Systems (completed)

Sub-Coordinators: Dr. Andreas Vorholt, Prof. Dr. Arno Behr
Researcher: M.Sc. Tom Gaide

State of the art

The hydroformlyation of dodecene in thermomorphic solvents systems was investigated in the first research period. A highly selective catalyst system consisting of Rh(acac)(CO)2 and Biphephos yields >80% aldehydes and linearity’s of 99%.

 

Hydroformylation of 1-dodecene

Different influence parameters of the hydroformylation and the solvent system could be shown to have a distinct influence on yield, selectivity and leaching of the metal catalyst.

Research goals

The project A1 bases on the results of the former period and will transfer this knowledge to other substrates and to other reaction with another catalyst system. Starting from dodecene internal olefins will be tested in the isomerizing hydroformylation. Oleo compounds like undecylenic methyl ester and oleic methyl ester will be employed to investigate the influences of further functional groups in thermomorphic solvent systems. The hydroesterification is an atom economic reaction yielding ester moieties in palladium catalyst systems. This reaction/substrate set puts the project in a position to investigate influences of different reactions types like isomerization, hydroesterification and hydroformylation, different functional moieties and catalysts systems on thermomorphic solvent systems.
