Aldehydes Q 0320Hydroformylation of Monosubstituted Alkenes Catalyzed by W-Rh Bimetallic Complex. -Using a W-Rh heterobimetallic catalyst, hydroformylation of monosubstituted alkenes (I), (V), (VIII) and (XI) proceeds efficiently under atmospheric pressure of CO(II)/H2 without effecting functional groups such as disubstituted alkene moieties, aryl and alkenyl iodide functions and hydroxy and carboxy groups. -(YAMANE, M.; YUKIMURA, N.; ISHIAI, H.; NARASAKA*, K.; Chem.
