Remarkable Effect of the Wavelength in the Photoassisted Carbonylation of the C-H Bond of Decane in the Presence of RhCl(CO)PR3)2 as the Catalyst

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1988.155

RhCl(CO)(Pr3)2-catalyzed and photoassisted carbonylation of decane leading to the formation of C11 aldehydes and/or 1-nonene was remarkably affected by the wavelength; irradiation with λ > 295 nm was essential to the formation of 1-nonene and undecanal.By cutting off λ < 325 nm, 1-nonene formation was completely suppressed, and a series of isomeric C11 aldehydes were obtained.
