Hydroformylation of an alkene (R 1 to R 3 organyl groups (i. e. alkyl-or aryl group) or hydrogen). In organic chemistry, hydroformylation, also known as oxo synthesis or oxo process, is an industrial process for the production of aldehydes (R−CH=O) from alkenes (R 2 C=CR 2).
The formation of the oxo-dimer is a process called oxolation: [4] 2 [L n MOH] ⇌ L n M−O−ML n + H 2 O, where L = ligand. Ultimately olation and oxolation lead to metal oxides: 2 [M(H 2 O) 6] 3+ → M 2 O 3 + 9 H 2 O + 6 H + Olation and oxolation are responsible for the formation of many natural and synthetic materials.
Oxo alcohols are alcohols that are prepared by adding carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (usually combined as synthesis gas) to an olefin to obtain an aldehyde using the hydroformylation reaction and then hydrogenating the aldehyde to obtain the alcohol. [1]
a) Doubly bridging and b) terminal oxo ligands. A transition metal oxo complex is a coordination complex containing an oxo ligand. Formally O 2–, an oxo ligand can be bound to one or more metal centers, i.e. it can exist as a terminal or (most commonly) as bridging ligands. Oxo ligands stabilize high oxidation states of a metal.

Oxo ligand, a divalent ligand; oxo-, a prefix in the formal IUPAC nomenclature for the functional group '=O' (a substituent oxygen atom connected to another atom by a double bond) Hydroformylation, an industrial process for the production of aldehydes from alkenes
Attack of water on metal oxo centers represents one pathway for the formation of the O-O bond, leading to dioxygen. Alternatively, the crucial O-O bond forming step can arise by coupling suitably positioned pairs of metal hydroxo centers. The molecular mechanism of the OEC has not been elucidated.
Oxo-degradation refers to the breakdown mechanism caused by heat, light or oxygen on plastics that contain additives that accelerate the process of breaking them into smaller fragments called microplastics. [1] These plastics contrast biodegradable or compostable plastics, which decompose at the molecular or polymer level. [2]
If produced from oleochemical feedstock or the Ziegler process, the hydrocarbon chain of the alcohol will be linear. If derived using the oxo process, a low level of branching will appear usually with a methyl or ethyl group at the C-2 position, containing even and odd amounts of alkyl chains. [3] These alcohols react with chlorosulfuric acid:
