The design of a continuous reactor for fluorous biphasic reactions under pressure and its use in alkene hydroformylation.
A reactor, into which all reagents can be fed continuously and from which the reaction mixture can be continuously removed to a gravity separator, where product can be continuously removed and the catalyst phase recycled to the reactor, has been constructed and used for the hydroformylation of alkenes in fluorocarbon solvents.
