Resumen

Catalytic precursor systems prepared using [Rh2(μ-pz)(μ- SBu')(COD)2] in the presence of triphenylphosphine and chiral diphosphines are active in styrene hydroformylation. The effect of the pressure and the dependence on the P/Rh ratio are studied. When triphenylphosphine is used as phosphorous ligand complete conversion to aldehydes and regioselectivities as high as 90% in 2-phenylpropanal are obtained at very mild conditions. The use of (+)-(2R,4R)(-)-(2S,4S)-2,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane ((+)-BDPP) or (- )-(2S,4S) ((-)-BDPP) as chiral diphosphine in a P/Rh ratio of 2 provides 95% regioselectivity and enantiomeric excess as high as 50%.
