title: Overcoming Phase-Transfer Limitations in the Conversion of Lipophilic Oleo Compounds in Aqueous Media-A Thermomorphic Approach.
abstract: A new process concept has been developed for recycling transition-metal catalysts in the synthesis of moderately polar products via aqueous thermomorphic multicomponent solvent systems. This work focuses on the use of "green" solvents (1-butanol and water) in the hydroformylation of the bio-based substrate methyl 10-undecenoate. Following the successful development of a biphasic reaction system on the laboratory scale, the reaction was transferred to a continuously operated miniplant to demonstrate the robustness of this innovative recycling concept for homogenous catalysts.
