For this purpose, several phosphites were synthesized. These were tested afterwards as ligands in the hydroformylation of n-octenes. The activity and n-selectivity were evaluated and the stability towards hydrolysis investigated. Two PNP pincer ligands and their rhodium complexes were synthesized. These and a triphosphine were subsequently tested in the hydroformylation of 1-octene.
