[0002] Hydroformylation is a synthetic method for preparing aldehydes / alcohols with one more carbon atom using olefins or enols with a C=C double bond functional group as raw materials, and has broad application prospects in industrial production.

[0003] 1,4-Butanediol and 1,5-pentanediol are important organic chemical and fine chemical raw materials, and are the basic raw materials for the production of polyesters and plasticizers. The synthesis of linear hydroxyaldehydes by hydroformylation of enols and subsequent hydrogenation to prepare diols is a green synthesis method with high atom utilization and has good research prospects. At present, the commonly used catalyst is rhodium complex, and the ligand is usually a tertiary phosphine ligand such as triphenylphosphine, but the selectivity of the reaction is low, which increases the production cost.
