Olefin Hydroformylation

  • Chapter
Chemicals from Synthesis Gas

Part of the book series: Catalysis by Metal Complexes ((CMCO,volume 3))

Abstract

Unsaturated hydrocarbons, especially C2—C4 olefins, are important building blocks in the petrochemical industry. They are converted on a large scale to a variety of oxygenated derivatives such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids. The introduction of oxygen into the molecule generally involves reaction of the olefin with one of the three abundantly available reagents: water, molecular oxygen or carbon monoxide. Examples of reactions of olefins with water and molecular oxygen are the conversion of propylene to isopropanol (Reaction 1) and acrolein (Reaction 2), respectively.
