Abstract

Bisphosphite ligands based on benzopinacol with an open outer unit, and the use thereof in hydroformylation.

Claims (30)

1. A compound of formula (I):

wherein

R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 , R 10 , R 11 , R 12 , R 13 , R 14 are each independently selected from: —H, —(C 1 -C 12 )-alkyl, —O—(C 1 -C 12 )-alkyl or —(C 4 -C 12 )-aryl, and the radicals R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , and also the radicals R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 , R 10 , may form fused systems with one another.

2. The compound according to claim 1 ,

wherein R 11 and R 14 are —(C 1 -C 12 )-alkyl.

3. The compound according to claim 1 , wherein R 11 and R 14 are - tert Bu.

4. The compound according to claim 1 ,

wherein R 2 , R 13 are selected from: —(C 1 -C 12 )-alkyl or, —O—(C 1 -C 12 )-alkyl.

5. The compound according to claim 1 ,

wherein R 12 and R 13 are —OCH 3 or - tert Bu.

6. The compound according to claim 1 ,

wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 , R 10 are selected from —H, —(C 1 -C 12 )-alkyl or —(C 4 -C 12 )-aryl.

7. The compound according to claim 1 ,

wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 , R 10 are selected from —H, - tert Bu, —(C 4 -C 6 )-aryl.

8. The compound according to claim 1 ,

wherein the compound has one of the structures (1) to (3):

9. A process comprising the process steps of:

a) initially charging an ethylenically unsaturated compound;

b) adding a compound according to claim 1 ;

and a substance comprising Rh;

c) feeding in H 2 and CO, and

d) heating the reaction mixture from a) to c), with conversion of the olefin to an aldehyde.

10. The process according to claim 9 ,

wherein the ethylenically unsaturated compound in process step a) is selected from: ethene, propene, 1-butene, cis- and/or trans-2-butene, isobutene, 1,3-butadiene, 1-pentene, cis- and/or trans-2-pentene, 2-methyl-1-butene, 3-methyl-1-butene, 2-methyl-2-butene, hexene, tetramethylethylene, heptene, 1-octene, 2-octene, di-n-butene, or mixtures thereof.

11. The process according to claim 9 ,

wherein the substance comprising Rh is selected from: Rh(acac)(CO) 2 , [(acac)Rh(COD)] (Umicore, acac=acetylacetonate anion; COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene), Rh 4 CO 12 .

12. The process according to claim 9 ,

wherein CO is fed in in process step c) at a pressure in the range from 1 to 6 MPa (10 to 60 bar).

13. The process according to claim 9 ,

wherein the reaction mixture is heated in process step d) to a temperature in the range from 80° C. to 160° C.
