Abstract: Olefin hydroformylation catalyzed by water-soluble rhodium-phosphine complexes in aqueous/organic biphasic systems has become a highly efficient process for aldehyde production and catalyst separation. The catalysis system with high activity and regioselectivity in olefin hydroformylation is highly prospective.

Key words: water-soluble rhodium complex, phosphine ligand, olefin, hydroformylation
