Abstract

RuCl2(TPPTS)3 [TPPTS: P(m-C6H4SO3Na)3] catalyzed liquid phase hydroformylation and hydrogenation of 1-hexene was carried out in aqueous phase at different temperature and pressure. The catalyst was found to be more active towards hydrogenation even under hydroformylation conditions. It also gave 10–25% isomerized products. The hydrogenation yield (70-80%) remains almost similar under studied experimental conditions. Increase in hydroformylated products with the increase in reaction pressure from 10 to 90bar was observed. The catalyst is found to be selective towards n-heptanal at 125°C and n-heptanol at 175°C, although product yield is very low.
