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).
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.

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]
An oxo-Diels–Alder reaction (also called an oxa-Diels–Alder reaction) is an organic reaction and a variation of the Diels–Alder reaction in which a suitable diene reacts with an aldehyde to form a dihydropyran ring. This reaction is of some importance to synthetic organic chemistry.
In organic chemistry, the oxy-Cope rearrangement is a chemical reaction.It involves reorganization of the skeleton of certain unsaturated alcohols. It is a variation of the Cope rearrangement in which 1,5-dien-3-ols are converted to unsaturated carbonyl compounds by a mechanism typical for such a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement.
The Shell higher olefin process (SHOP) is a chemical process for the production of linear alpha olefins via ethylene oligomerization and olefin metathesis invented and exploited by Shell plc. [1] The olefin products are converted to fatty aldehydes and then to fatty alcohols , which are precursors to plasticizers and detergents .
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]
