Dicyclopentadiene Hydroformylation in an Aqueous/Organic Two Phase System in the Presence of a Cationic Surfactant

Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) hydroformylation catalyzed by the water soluble rhodium complex RhCl(CO)(TPPTS)2 (TPPTS: P(m-C6H4SO3Na)3) was studied in an aqueous/organic two phase system containing a cationic surfactant. The effects of various reaction parameters such as reaction temperature, catalyst concentration, water soluble phosphine TPPTS or TPPDS (C6H5P(m-C6H4SO3Na)2), and surfactant structure were examined. The catalytic activity was better with the ligand TPPTS than with TPPDS. The reaction was accelerated by the addition of the cationic surfactant C16H33N(CH3)2CnH2n+1 Br(n = 1, 8, 12, 16) but the accelerating effect was attenuated with an increase of the n value. In the presence of the surfactant, the DCPD conversion increased initially and then decreased as the rhodium concentration increased in the range of 0.05–5.00 mmol/L. The catalyst containing aqueous phase was reused four times without significant decrease in activity and regioselectivity.

摘要： 研究了在阳离子表面活性剂存在下水/有机两相中水溶性铑配合物 RhCl(CO)(TPPTS)2 (TPPTS: P(m-C6H4SO3Na)3) 催化双环戊二烯氢甲酰化反应, 考察了反应温度、催化剂浓度、不同水溶性膦配体 TPPTS 和 TPPDS (C6H5P(m-C6H4SO3Na)2), 以及表面活性剂结构对催化反应的影响. 结果表明, 配体 TPPTS 比 TPPDS 表现出更好的助催化效果; 阳离子表面活性剂 C16H33N(CH3)2CnH2n+1Br (n = 1, 8, 12, 16) 的加入可大大加速反应, 但加速作用随着其中 CnH2n+1Br (n = 1, 8, 12, 16) 链长的增加而减弱; 在阳离子表面活性剂 (0.05-5.00 mmol/L) 存在下, 双环戊二烯的转化率随表面活性剂浓度的增加先增加后降低. 含催化剂的水相循环使用 4 次后, 催化活性和区域选择性没有明显下降.
