H2COrationen
H2COrationen refers to the addition of a formyl group (CHO) across a double or triple bond. This reaction is a type of hydroformylation, where hydrogen and a formyl group are added. Typically, hydroformylation involves the addition of hydrogen and carbon monoxide to an alkene or alkyne in the presence of a catalyst. The term "H2COrationen" specifically highlights the H2 and CO components of the reaction, emphasizing the origin of the formyl group.
The primary product of H2COrationen is an aldehyde. If an alkene is used, a saturated aldehyde is
This reaction is a cornerstone of industrial organic chemistry, particularly in the production of bulk chemicals.
