Stereoselectivity alkyne hydroformylation

This chapter discusses some general aspects of the hydroformylation of alkenes in organic synthesis. It focuses mainly on regio- and stereoselective processes, and analyzes the influence of the substrate and the catalysts. Practical methods which provide high yields and selectivities, and short-cuts compared to classical organic routes will be described. Particular attention will be paid to recent advances that have helped to enlarge the synthetic application of this reaction. Section 6.7 deals with the hydroformylation of alkynes, and such key aspects as hydroformylation in water-gas shift conditions and silylformylation, particularly efficient catalytic systems and the application ofhydroformylation in organic synthesis.
