| description | The use of a liquid–liquid biphasic thermomorphic or temperature-dependent multicomponent solvent
(TMS) system,in which the catalyst accumulates in one of the liquid phases and the product goes preferably to the other liquid phase,can be an enabling strategy of commercial hydroformylation processes
with high selectivity, efficiency and ease of product separation and catalyst recovery. This paper describes
the synthesis of n-nonanal, a commercially important fine chemical,by the hydroformylation reaction
of 1-octene using a homogeneous catalyst consisting of HRh(PPh3)3(CO) andP(OPh)3 in a TMS-system
consisting of propylene carbonate(PC),dodecane and 1,4-dioxane. At a reaction temperature of 363K,
syngas pressure of 1.5 MPa and 0.68mM concentration of the catalyst,HRh(CO)(PPh3)3, the conversion of
1-octene and the yield of total aldehyde were 97%and 95%,respectively.With a reaction time of 2h and
a selectivity of 89.3%,this catalytic system can be considered as highly reactive and selective compared
to conventional ones.The resulting total turnover number was 600,while the turnover frequency was
400 h−1. The effects of increasing the concentration of 1-octene,catalyst loading,partial pressure of CO and
H2 and temperature on the rate of reaction have been studied at 353,363 and 373K. The rate was found
to be first order with respect to concentrations of the catalyst and 1-octene, and the partial pressure of
H2. The dependence of the reaction rate on the partial pressure of CO showed typical substrate inhibited
kinetics. The kinetic behavior differs significantly from the kinetics of conventional systems employing
HRh(CO)(PPh3)3 in organic solvents. Most notable are the lack of olefin inhibition and the absence of a
critical catalyst concentration. A mechanistic rate equation has been proposed and the kinetic parameters
evaluated with an average error of 5.5%. The activation energy was found to be 69.8kJ/mol. |
