Abstract
The development in hydroformylation of higher olefins in liquid/liquid biphase systems is reviewed, partially based on the authors' research results in recent years. The classical aqueous/organic biphase system is unsuitable for hydroformylation of higher olefins. In order to solve this problem, six kinds of improved methods including thermoregulated phase-transfer catalysis are introduced in detail. In addition, the hydroformylation of higher olefins in nonaqueous liquid/liquid biphase systems, such as fluorous biphasic system, non-aqueous ionic liquid and supercritical fluid is also introduced. Meanwhile, the possibilities of commercial applications of each system have been discussed.
