This review provides an overview of recent developments in the area of aqueous biphasic hydroformylation of higher olefins using metal catalysts and surfactants, cosolvents, thermoregulated ligands, cyclodextrins, and most importantly emerging water-soluble nonphosphine ligands. Water-soluble phosphine ligands have been widely explored for aqueous biphasic hydroformylation; however, phosphines are generally expensive and are prone to oxidation hence the recent interest in exploring other ligands. Various approaches have been used to introduce hydrophilicity to the ligands. The catalytic activity of monometallic and heterobimetallic systems containing nonphosphine ligands in aqueous biphasic media is emphasized in this review.

这篇综述概述了使用金属催化剂和表面活性剂，助溶剂，温度调节的配体，环糊精和最重要的是新兴的水溶性非膦配体的高级烯烃的水相双相加氢甲酰化领域的最新进展。水溶性膦配体已被广泛研究用于水相双相加氢甲酰化。然而，膦通常是昂贵的并且易于氧化，因此最近对探索其他配体的兴趣。已经使用各种方法将亲水性引入配体。在这篇综述中强调了含有非膦配体的单金属和异双金属系统在水性双相介质中的催化活性。
