Actual and Potential Substrates

Other valuable targets for hydroformylation, fully neglected in the past, would seem to be additionally functionalized long-chain fatty acids, such as santalbic 

The related catechols that are categorized under the general name umshiols can be isolated from Toxicondendron species, such as poison oak, poison ivy, or poison sumac [18]. They are currently applied to produce traditional Asian lacquerware. 

Anarcadic acid derivatives (in particular cardanol) and umshiols were transformed in several typical metal-catalyzed transformations (epoxidation, hydrogenation, and metathesis) [19] however, to date, hydroformylation has not been investigated, although a potential as plasticizers for PVC has been proven [20].
