Abstract: This specification discloses a process for the production of oxygenated compounds, more specifically aldehydes and alcohols, by reacting an olefin with hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the presence of, as a ctalyst, an insoluble polymer containing a functional group, which may be an amine, thiol, phosphine, or arsine group, having chemically bonded thereto a metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table. The metal can be, for example, rhodium, cobalt, or ruthenium. The olefin can contain more than one carbon-to-carbon double bond, may be an open chain or a cyclic olefin, and may be substituted. Further, the olefin may be contained in a refinery stream such as a cracked gasoline. The reaction may be carried out in the presence of a polar solvent.

Abstract: The homogeneous catalysis of the hydrocarbonylation of olefins using a catalyst comprising a complex between an organic ligand and a Group VIII noble metal hydride carbonyl. The reaction is performed at mild conditions including temperatures from 50.degree.-200.degree. C. and pressures from 1 to 10,000 atmospheres to produce a predominantly aldehyde product having a high normal to iso distribution. The aldehyde products so produced are useful as intermediates for hydrogenation to aliphatic alcohols, for aldol condensation to produce plasticizers, for oxidation to produce aliphatic acids, etc.
