The synthesis of π-acceptor ligands of the type PArxR3-x (x = 0-2; R = pyrrolyl, indolyl, carbazolyl; Ar = aryl) (1-8, 10, 12, 13) and P(pyrrolyl)2(carbazolyl) (11) is described. These ligands can be prepared in good to excellent yields by treatment of the corresponding free heterocyclic amines with phosphorus chlorides in the presence of base. The utilization of pyrrolyl-, indolyl-, and carbazolylphosphanes in the rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of 2-pentene demonstrates the influence of the ligand π-acidity on regioselectivity and activity in the hydroformylation of internal olefins. In general, increasing π-acidity of the ligand results in an increased yield of the linear oxo product. The best n/iso ratios of about 60:40 are obtained at low synthesis gas pressure (10 bar) in the presence of the P(pyrrolyl)3 (1) ligand.
