The influence of the temperature on the regioselectivity in the hydroformylation of the vinylpyrrole isomers and of the corresponding N-tosylated substrates has been investigated in the range 20-100°C, in the presence of Rh4(CO)12. At all the temperatures the branched aldehyde was prevailing with respect to the linear isomer for all the substrates ( α-regioselectivity). With increasing temperature, an increase of the linear aldehyde was observed to a different extent in dependence on the substrate nature. 2H NMR investigation of the crude reaction mixture recovered from deuterioformylation of 3-vinylpyrrole at partial substrate conversion points out that the observed depression of the α-regioselectivity with increasing temperature must be connected to a β-hydride elimination process occurring for the branched alkyl-rhodium intermediates but not for the linear ones.
