Abstract
The hydroformylation of 7-tetradecene with Co-TPPTS was studied in microemulsions as reaction media at various temperatures, pressures and surfactant concentrations. The influence of metal concentration and ligand excess on activity and selectivity has been investigated. The use of cobalt based catalysts resulted in isomerization of the internal double bond of 7-tetradecene to yield more than 50% terminal aldehydes. A change in the selectivity for linear aldehydes at different temperatures and metal to ligand ratios indicates a shift in the equilibrium between modified and unmodified cobalt species.
