Hydroformylation of acenaphthylene using di-μ-chlorotetracarbonyldirhodium/triphenylphosphine as catalytic precursor affords acenaphthene-1-carboxaldehyde under mild conditions in 80percent yield.This compound is easily transformed, via dehydration of the corresponding oxime followed by hydrolysis of the nitrile, into acenaphthene-1-carboxylic acid in an overall yield of ca. 50percent.
