Compounds, transition metal complex hydroformylation catalyst precuror compositions comprising such compounds, and hydroformylation processes

Abstract

The present disclosure relates generally to compounds, to transition metal complex hydroformylation catalytic precursor compositions, and to processes for separating one or more heavies from a hydroformylation reaction product fluid in hydroformylation processes comprising a metal-monophosphite ligand complex catalyst. In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a compound of the following formula (I): (I) wherein R1-R5 are the same or different and are H or an alkyl moiety, wherein R6 is H, alkyl, aryl, O—R7, —N(R8)2 and O(CH2CH2)yOR8 moieties, wherein R7 is an alkyl or an aryl moiety, and wherein R8 is H, alkyl, or aryl moieties.
