Application

(Acetylacetonato)dicarbonylrhodium(I) serves a critical function as a versatile catalyst employed in various chemical processes. It is particularly known for its role in the in situ formation of a fluorous-soluble hydroformylation catalyst, a key interest in molecular engineering due to its efficiency in promoting hydroformylation reactions, especially with olefins. Beyond this, it acts as a precatalyst for several specialized reactions, including silylformylation of olefins, carbonylative silylcarbo-cyclization used in synthesizing isodomoic acids, and conjugate additions of aryl- and alkenylboronic acids to enones. Furthermore, it is utilized in processes such as carbamoylstannation and the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds, making it invaluable in various carbonylation and silylcarbocyclization reactions.
