An Electrostatically-Anchored Rhodium(I) Catalyst for the Hydroformylation and Tandem Hydroformylation/Acetalization of Biorenewable Allyl Benzenes
| Resumo: | A rhodium catalyst anchored in a commercial anion exchange resin (IRA900/TPPMS/Rh) was prepared straightforwardly through a simple protocol from readily available precursors. The material was used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the hydroformylation and tandem sequence hydroformylation/acetalization of eugenol and estragole under mild conditions. The regioselectivity for linear products was ca. 62%, but for the allyl benzenes the branched isomer are also valuable. The performance of the anchored catalyst in hydroformylation was comparable to that of the conventional homogeneous rhodium system; however, its efficiency in the acetalization step was significantly higher. The material can be separated from the reaction solutions by decantation and re-used without a significant loss in activity and selectivity. This simple catalytic method represents an economically attractive route to commercially valuable fragrance compounds starting from the substrates easily available from natural bio-renewable sources. |
