Abstract

Hydroformylation of allyl alcohol was studied in aqueous medium using [Ru(III)-EDTA] complex as catalyst and (1:1) CO + H2 gas in a high pressure autoclave at pressures up to 50 atm and in the temperature range 90-130°C. The hydroformylation of allyl alcohol gives γ-hydroxybutyraldehyde as the primary product, along with the side products γ-butyrolactone, dihydrofuran and 1,4-butanediol. The hydroformylation of allyl alcohol is first order with respect to allyl alcohol and catalyst concentrations, and has a linear dependence on CO + H2 (1:1) pressure of the syngas. The activation energy of the reaction is found to be 23.13 kcal mol−1.
