Alkylated PTA platforms for mono- and polynuclear pre-catalysts for the aqueous biphasic hydroformylation of 1-octene

A series of mono-, di- and trimeric alkylated PTA ligands were synthesised. These ligands were reacted with the dimeric rhodium precursor, [RhCl(COD)]2, to produce the corresponding mono-, di- and trinuclear Rh(I)-PTA complexes. These complexes were then reacted with carbon monoxide to substitute th...
