Abstract: Tris-(3,4-dimethoxylphenyl)phosphine (TDMOPP) was synthesized and used as a ligand for the homogenous hydroformylation of 1-dodecene. The effects of the P/Rh molar ratio and reaction temperature on the activity and regioselectivity were investigated. The results showed that the activity of TDMOPP was about two times higher than that of the traditional triphenylphosphine at a low P/Rh and tempera-ture.

Key words: tris-(3,4-dimethoxylphenyl)phosphine, rhodium complex, 1-dodecene, hydroformylation
