Phosphabarrelene-rhodium complexes as highly active catalysts for isomerization free hydroformylation of internal alkenes.
A new class of phosphabarrelene-rhodium catalysts is described which allows for the first time hydroformylation of internal alkenes with very high activity and which proceeds essentially free of alkene isomerization.
