Novel tridentate phosphines and method of forming aldehyde hydrogenation catalysts
-
Page/Page column 7, (2008/06/13)
This invention comprises a process for hydrogenation of aldehydes to alcohols using novel homogeneous catalysts. The catalysts are generated in situ under hydrogen and carbon monoxide gases in a suitable solvent, by mixing a rhodium catalyst precursor, such as Rh(CO)2 acetoacetonate and a defined ligand.
