A simple and efficient Rh-phosphinite complex catalyst was studied for the selective hydroformylation of various olefins. The influence of various reaction parameters including the effect of temperature, pressure, catalyst loading, time, and solvents was studied. The protocol was also applied for the synthesis of various acetals via tandem hydroformylation-acetalization of olefins in alcohols as solvents. High activity and selectivity for acetal formation was achieved in the absence of co-catalysts with admirable substrate to catalyst mole ratio (TON 2500). The developed protocol works for a wide range of olefins to synthesize corresponding aldehydes and acetals under optimized reaction conditions.
