Title: 1.1.2 Asymmetric Hydroformylation of Alkenes
Abstract: Abstract Asymmetric hydroformylation is a very promising catalytic reaction that produces chiral aldehydes from inexpensive feedstocks (alkenes and syngas) in a single step under essentially neutral reaction conditions. Asymmetric hydroformylation offers a great potential for the fine chemical industry since enantiomerically pure or enriched aldehydes can be obtained through hydroformylation of a variety of substrates using the appropriate chiral-phosphorus-modified rhodium catalyst. This chapter presents the successful transformations of benchmark and specific substrates, organized according to the substitution pattern.
