Abstract
Process for the catalytic hydroformylation of olefins in which an olefin is reacted with hydrogen and carbon monoxide, with the process being carried out by operating in a liquid, aqueous-organic reaction medium, in the presence of a water-soluble complex catalyst containing a metal active in the hydroformylation, wherein said aqueous-organic medium is in the form of a microemulsion consituted by an oil phase, an aqueous phase, a surfactant and a co-surfactant, with said oil phase constituting the external phase of said microemulsion, and said aqueous phase constituting the internal phase of said microemulsion.
