A process for producing a 1,3-diol, e.g., 1,3-propanediol, and/or a 3-hydroxyaldehyde, e.g., 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde is disclosed which comprises contacting a combination of an epoxide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a rhodium-containing catalyst composition effective to promote the hydroformylation of the epoxide at conditions effective to form at least one of a 1,3-diol and a 3-hydroxyaldehyde. The rhodium-containing catalyst composition comprises an anionic rhodium-containing complex. A promoter component is preferably provided to enhance at least one of the rate and selectivity of the epoxide hydroformylation reaction. Rhodium-containing compositions and a processes for producing rhodium-containing compositions are also disclosed.
本发明公开了一种生产1,3-二醇(如1,3-丙二醇)和/或3-羟基醛(如3-羟基丙醛)的工艺,该工艺包括在含铑催化剂组合物存在下,使环氧化物、一氧化碳和氢的组合物接触,该催化剂组合物能有效地促进环氧化物在有效条件下的氢甲酰化,以形成1,3-二醇和3-羟基醛中的至少一种。含铑催化剂组合物包括阴离子含铑络合物。最好提供一种促进剂成分,以提高环氧化物加氢甲酰化反应的速率和选择性中的至少一种。还公开了含铑组合物和生产含铑组合物的工艺。
