In the presence of 2-phosphino-substituted imidazole ligands and Ru 3(CO)12 or Ru(methylallyl)2(COD) direct hydroformylation and hydrogenation of alkenes to alcohols takes place. In addition to terminal alkenes, also more challenging internal olefins are converted preferentially to industrially important linear alcohols in high yield (up to 88%) and regioselectivity (n:iso up to 99:1).
Studies on the Autoxidation of Nonbranched Aliphatic Monocarboxylic Acids and Their Methyl Esters

Valeric, caproic, and heptanoic acid and their methyl esters were oxidizied at 140 deg C by molecular oxygen.The oxidation mixtures were reduced by LiAlH4, and the mono- and dihydroxy compounds formed were analyzed gaschromatographically.From the results obtained one can conclude that nonbranched aliphatic acids and their methyl esters are attacked by the chain-carrying peroxy radicals at the different C-H bonds with almost the same regioselectivity as normal paraffins.Only the β- and to a smaller extent the α-positions are desactivated by the neighbouring carboxylic group.
