ABSTRACT:
An ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon is hydroformylated to an aldehyde having one more carbon than the unsaturated hydrocarbon by contacting the unsaturated hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a reaction medium comprising a Group VIII noble metal and a bicyclo or tricyclo(heterocyclo) saturated amine having 2 to 10 carbons, 1 to 4 nitrogens and at least one nitrogen in a bridgehead position. Liquid phase contacting is employed with the catalyst dispersed in a liquid phase at temperatures from 50.degree. to about 200.degree. C. and pressures from 1 to 300 atmospheres. A typical reaction comprises contacting ethylene, carbon monoxide and hydrogen at a temperature of about 88.degree. C. and a pressure of 50 atmospheres with an inert liquid reaction medium containing rhodium chloride and triethylenediamine. Preferably the reaction medium also contains a biphyllic ligand which is a trivalent phosphorus, antimony or arsenic organic compound. The presence of the heterocyclo saturated amine has been found to increase the yield of the aldehyde without increasing the yield of alcohol and/or dimerized products.
