Abstract

Hydroformylation of ally1 alcohol was studied in aqueous medium using [Ru(III)-EDTA] complex as catalyst and (1:l) CO + H2 gas in a high pressure autoclave at pressures upto 50 atm and in the temperature range 90 - 130“C. The hydroformylation of ally1 alcohol gives gamma-hydroxybutyraldehyde as the primary product, along with the side products gamma-butyrolactone, dihydrofuran and 1,4-butanediol. The hydroformylation of allyl alcohol is first order with respect to ally1 alcohol and catalyst concentrations, and has a linear dependence on CO + H2 (1:l) pressure of the syngas. The activation energy of the reaction is found to be 23.13 kcal mol-1.
