Abstract
The hydroformylation of olefinic hydrocarbons is effected by treating the hydrocarbon with hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst comprising an ion exchange resin and an organic linking compound having at least one resin-compatible moiety ionically bonded to said resin and further having at least one metal complexible moiety selected from the group consisting of cobalt, ruthenium, palladium, platinum and rhodium.
Claims12
A process for hydroformylating olefins to the corresponding alcohols and/or aldehydes which comprises reacting said olefin with carbon monoxide and hydrogen at hydroformylation conditions including a temperature in the range of from about 40.degree. to about 160.degree. C. and a pressure in the range of from about 1 to about 500 atmospheres, in the presence of a catalyst consisting essentially of:
- (a) an ion exchange resin having a strongly acidic, weakly acidic, or mixed acid-base type functional group;
- (b) a metal selected from the group consisting of cobalt, ruthenium, palladium, platinum and rhodium;
- and
- (c) an organic linking compound of from 1 to about 100 carbon atoms which has at least one moiety selected from the group consisting of monohydrocarbyl ammonium, dihydrocarbyl ammonium, trihydrocarbyl ammonium, quaternary ammonium, pyridinium, phosphonium, arsonium and sulfonium which is ionically bonded to said ion exchange resin and further has at least one moiety which contains a heteroatom selected from the group consisting of trivalent nitrogen, trivalent phosphorus, trivalent arsenic, trivalent bismuth and trivalent antimony which is coordinately bonded to said metal.
A process for hydroformylating olefins to the corresponding alcohols and/or aldehydes which comprises reacting said olefin with carbon monoxide and hydrogen at hydroformylation conditions including a temperature in the range of from about 40.degree. to about 160.degree. C. and a pressure in the range of from about 1 to about 500 atmospheres, in the presence of a catalyst consisting essentially of:
- (a) an ion exchange resin having a basic-type functional group;
- (b) metal selected from the group consisting of cobalt, ruthenium, palladium, platinum and rhodium;
- and
- (c) an organic linking compound of from 1 to about 100 carbon atoms which has at least one moiety derived from the group consisting of carboxylic acid, phosphonic acid, phosphinic acid, sulfenic acid, sulfinic acid, sulfonic acid, boronic acid and boronous acid which is ionically bonded to said ion exchange resin and further has at least one moiety which contains a heteroatom selected from the group consisting of trivalent nitrogen, trivalent phosphorus, trivalent arsenic, trivalent bismuth and trivalent antimony which is coordinately bonded to said metal.
