Abstract

Different micellar systems are characterized. Hydroformylation reactions are carried out in the most appropriate ones and are compared with hydroformylations in a non-micellar system. Reaction rates and selectivities for aldehydes are higher than the micelles. In addn. to this, olefins between C6 and C16 are successfully hydroformylated in the micellar system, whereas C8 is the highest olefin that can be hydroformylated without micelles. The behavior of the reaction in the micellar system is very sensitive to the initial compn. and reaction conditions. [on SciFinder (R)]

Hydroformylation

In organic chemistry, hydroformylation, also known as oxo synthesis or oxo process, is an industrial process for the production of aldehydes () from alkenes (). This chemical reaction entails the net addition of a formyl group () and a hydrogen atom to a carbon-carbon double bond. This process has undergone continuous growth since its invention: production capacity reached 6.6 tons in 1995. It is important because aldehydes are easily converted into many secondary products.

Micelle

A micelle (maɪˈsɛl) or micella (maɪˈsɛlə) (plural micelles or micellae, respectively) is an aggregate (or supramolecular assembly) of surfactant amphipathic lipid molecules dispersed in a liquid, forming a colloidal suspension (also known as associated colloidal system). A typical micelle in water forms an aggregate with the hydrophilic "head" regions in contact with surrounding solvent, sequestering the hydrophobic single-tail regions in the micelle centre. This phase is caused by the packing behavior of single-tail lipids in a bilayer.

Carbonylation

In chemistry, carbonylation refers to reactions that introduce carbon monoxide (CO) into organic and inorganic substrates. Carbon monoxide is abundantly available and conveniently reactive, so it is widely used as a reactant in industrial chemistry. The term carbonylation also refers to oxidation of protein side chains. Several industrially useful organic chemicals are prepared by carbonylations, which can be highly selective reactions. Carbonylations produce organic carbonyls, i.e.
