Evidence for isomerizing hydroformylation of butadiene. A combined experimental and computational study

The (DIOP)rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of butadiene has been shown to give among the highest selectivities for formation of adipaldehyde, which is useful for the synthesis of nylon. Herein, isomerizing hydroformylation is shown to be a mechanism that is partially responsible for this selectivity and density functional theory studies are used to reveal the detailed pathway for the requisite alkene isomerization.

Process for the preparation of 2-alkyl-1,4-butanedial

A process is disclosed for the preparation of 2-alkyl-1,4-butanedial by hydroformylation of acetals of a 2-alkyl-substituted-1-propenal in the presence of a complex rhodium catalyst. The 3-alkyl-4,4-dialkoxybutanal obtained in this manner is separated and hydrolyzed to the desired compound.
