Biphasic hydroformylation in ionic liquids: interaction between phosphane ligands and imidazolium triflate, toward an asymmetric process.
Biphasic hydroformylation of dec-1-ene and styrene, at commercially competitive rates, can be successfully performed in imidazolium triflate ionic liquids; the ionic liquid network forms 'inclusion complexes' with the phosphane ligands used to modify the rhodium catalyst.
