description

Three dirhodium(II) compounds including orthometalated PPh3 ligands have been tested as catalytic precursors for the hydroformylation of styrene. The activities obtained and the wide range of selectivities have been compared to the same reaction performed with RhH(CO)(PPh3)3, Rh2(O2CCH3)4 and various amounts of triphenylphosphine.
