  • Publication number: 20090163687
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the preparation of 3-methylbut-1-ene from a hydrocarbon stream I comprising isobutene by feeding a hydrocarbon stream II which comprises at least 70% by mass of isobutene in relation to the olefins present in the hydrocarbon stream and which has been obtained from hydrocarbon stream I or is identical to it to a process step for hydroformylation in which isobutene is hydroformylated in the presence of a rhodium catalyst, hydrogenating the aldehyde obtained from the hydroformylation of isobutene to the corresponding alcohol and preparing 3-methylbut-1-ene by water elimination from the alcohol.

  • Patent number: 7217828
    Abstract: Phosphinines of formula (I) can be combined with metal salts to prepare hydroformylation catalysts. The phosphinine complexes have two phosphorus centers that may be substituted with a variety of hetero atoms or alkyl substituents to modify the ligand characteristics of the phosphinine. Phosphinine metal complexes are employed under normal hydroformylation reaction conditions. The preparatory routes to the phosphinine ligands of formula (I) allow for their convenient synthesis.
