| Abstract: | Different kinds of mono‐ and bidentate phosphite ligands were used in Rh‐catalyzed hydroformylation of styrene to illustrate the influence of steric and electronic properties of ligands on catalytic performance. High activity (99.9%) and good regioselectivity (85.4%) to the linear aldehyde were achieved under optimum conditions in the presence of Rh/bisphosphite complex (bisphosphite: 2,2′‐bis(dipyrrolylphosphinooxy)‐1,1′‐(±)‐binaphthyl). This system makes it possible to prepare functionalized terminal aldehydes from readily available styrene or its derivatives through hydroformylation with high linear selectivity.
