Abstract

We report a continuous flow, rhodium-catalysed hydroformylation of various styrenes using a tube-in-tube gas-liquid reactor. The flow process afforded selectively branched aryl aldehydes in good yields.

Key words

hydroformylation - rhodium - catalysis - membrane - flow

The styrene product fraction (˜5 mL) was collected in a sample vial under a steady stream of argon to remove ethylene gas from the solution. After fraction collection (˜5 min), argon was bubbled through the reaction solution for a further 5 min. The solution was then loaded into the 1 mL sample loop in preparation for the hydroformylation.
