A novel thermoregulated phosphine ligand Ph₂P(CH₂CH₂O)_nCH₃ (n=22) was synthesized and used for the Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of mixed C_11-12olefins in aqueous/organic biphasie system. Under the optimized conditions, pressure=5 Mpa (H₂:CO=1:1), phosphine/Rh=13 (molar ratio), reaction time=6 h and temperature=130℃, the conversion of C_11-12 olefins and the yield of aldehyde are 99% and 94%, respectively. The catalyst retained in aqueous phase can be easily separated from the product-containing organic phase by simple phase separation and the catalytic activity remains almost constant after four consecutive cycles.
