Claims
- 1. In the catalyzed hydroformylation reaction of, propylene, hydrogen and carbon monoxide under hydroformylation conditions to provide n-butyraldehyde and/or isobutyraldehyde, the improvement which comprises using as catalyst an intercalate composition comprising graphite intercalated with transition metal, said transition metal being present substantially as transition metal carbonyl.
- 2. The reaction of claim 1 wherein the transition metal carbonyl is a transition metal carbonyl cluster.
- 3. The reaction of claim 1 wherein the transition metal carbonyl is a carbonyl of rhodium or ruthenium.
- 4. In the catalyzed water hydroformylation reaction of propylene, hydrogen and carbon monoxide under hydroformylation conditions to provide n-butyraldehyde and/or isobutyraldehyde, the improvement which comprises using as catalyst an intercalate composition comprising a lamellar material selected from the group consisting of vermiculite, a smectite and crystalline zirconium dihydrogen phosphate intercalated with transition metal, said transition metal being present substantially at transition metal carbonyl.
- 5. The reaction of claim 4 wherein the transition metal carbonyl is a transition metal carbonyl cluster.
- 6. The reaction of claim 4 wherein the transition metal carbonyl is a carbonyl of rhodium or ruthenium.
