Hydroformylation of 1-octene using rhodium–phosphite catalyst in a thermomorphic solvent system

The use of a liquid-liquid biphasic thermomorphic or temperature dependent multicomponent solvent (TMS) process, in which the catalyst remains as a residue in one of the liquid phases and the product goes preferably to the other liquid phase, can be an enabling strategy of commercial application of...
