Rh-catalyzed highly regioselective hydroformylation to linear aldehydes by employing porous organic polymer as a ligand

In this work, we developed a new structural porous organic polymer containing biphosphoramidite unit, which can be used as a solid bidentate phosphorous ligand for rhodium-catalyzed solvent-free higher olefins hydroformylation. The resultant catalyst demonstrated unprecedently high regioselectivity to linear aldehydes and could be readily recovered for successive reuses with good stability in both catalytic activity and regioselectivity.
