Fast and unprecedented chemoselective hydroformylation of acrylates with a fluoropolymer ligand in supercritical CO2.
A fluorous polymeric phosphine, when combined with supercritical CO2 (scCO2) and rhodium, effects fast and highly chemoselective hydroformylation of acrylates, one of the least reactive olefins in hydroformylation reactions.
