Abstract
This invention relates to a process which comprises reacting one or more reactants in the presence of a metal-organophosphite ligand complex catalyst and dissolved water and optionally free organophosphite ligand to produce a reaction product fluid comprising one or more products, wherein said process is conducted in the presence of carbon dioxide in an amount sufficient not to effect substantial degradation of any said organophosphite ligand and/or substantial deactivation of said metal-organophosphite ligand complex catalyst.
