In1938, whileOttoRoelenwasstudyingtheFischer-Tropsch reaction, which converts H2/CO
into alkanes and alkenes, and was trying to improve the yields by recycling ethylene, the …

The synthetic potential and the mechanistic aspects of inorganic insertion reactions of
carbon monoxide, especially into metal‐carbon σ‐bonds, are considered. Reactions of this …

Cobalt carbonyl complexes containing a complementary tertiary phosphine, arsine or
phosphite ligand, eg,[Co (CO) 3 PBu 3] 2, have catalytic properties for the hydroformylation …

A molecular orbital study of the reaction path for the methyl migration reaction in
CHjMnfCOjs, the “carbonyl insertion reaction”, is the starting point for a general analysis of …

This book reviews some important reactions of carbon monoxide in organic chemistry:
hydroformylation, metal carbonyl-and acid catalyzed carbonylation and ring closure …

The chemistry of water-soluble tertiary phosphine complexes in aqueous solution appears to
be very similar to that of their counterparts in non-aqueous media. Neither the effect of …

The “oxo” or hydroformylation reaction is a remarkable reaction on many accounts. Total
annual world production of alcohols via the 0x0 reaction is now in excess of five billion …

Interest in the catalytic hydroformylation, or so-called oxonation, of olefins to aldehydes and
alcohols has increased steadily since the first commercial production of 0x0 alcohols from …

The reaction of 1‐alkenes with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst
gives the corresponding homologous aldehydes. The discovery of this reaction was made …

In diesem Aufsatz wird die Insertion von Kohlenmonoxid vor allem in Übergangsmetall‐
Kohlenstoff‐σ‐Bindungen behandelt. Reaktionen dieser Art sind bei den meisten 3d‐, 4d …
