Abstract
An effective and operationally simple palladium-catalyzed regioselective hydroformylation of olefins with formic acid provides linear aldehydes in good yield with excellent regioselectivity. 1,3-Bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp) as the ligand plays a crucial role in directing the reaction pathway. The process requires no syngas.
