hydroformylation of 1-butene using sulfoxantphos 1 modified rhodium complexes. Kinetic
experiments were performed in a fixed bed reactor and compared to a gradient-free gas-
phase loop reactor (Berty type). The influence of substrate concentration, temperature and
syngas pressure was determined. Data from fixed bed and Berty reactor were found to be in
good agreement with respect to activation energy and reaction order. Ex-situ NMR studies of …
