| Abstract: | The ruthenium‐catalyzed hydroformylation of 1‐ and 2‐octene to give preferentially the corresponding linear aldehyde is reported. The catalyst system comprising of Ru3(CO)12 and an imidazole‐substituted monophosphine ligand allows for high chemo‐ and regioselectivity. The hydroformylation proceeds with unprecedented rates for a ruthenium‐based catalyst. |
