Hydroformylation of substituted styrenes, 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene, and vinyl acetate at 25°C, catalyzed by [Rh(cod)(OOCR)]2 in the absence of phosphine or phosphite ligands, occurs in high yield and with regioselectivities greater than 95:5 for branched:linear aldehydes from styrenes and vinyl acetate; only the linear aldehyde was obtained with 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene.
