Synthesis of triphenylphosphine-functionalized dendrimers and application to olefin hydroformylation
A new class of dendrimers functionalized with triphenylphosphines at the periphery has been synthesized by using convergent method. These dendritic ligands were successfully applied to rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of olefin. Similar regioselectivity and reactivity were obtained for the dendritic systems and the parent compound. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
