Ir-catalyzed tandem hydroformylation-transfer hydrogenation of olefins with (trans-/cis-)formic acid as hydrogen source in presence of 1,10-phenanthroline

The one-pot tandem hydroformylation-reduction to synthesize alcohols from olefins is in great demand but suffering from low yields, poor selectivity and harsh condition. Herein, 1,10-phenanthroline (L1) modified Ir-catalyst proved to exhibit multiple cata

High-yielding tandem hydroformylation/hydrogenation of a terminal olefin to produce a linear alcohol using a Rh/Ru dual catalyst system

(Chemical equation presented) A dual catalyst system has been developed for tandem hydroformylation/hydrogenation to produce n-undecanol from 1-decene in one pot. A combination of xantphos/[Rh(acac)(CO)2] and Shvo's catalyst (1) afforded the best results (see scheme; acac = acetylacetonate, DMA = N,N-dimethylacetamide). Polar solvents effectively suppressed the formation of undecyl formate.
