• EXAMPLE 56 The following is a general procedure for the preparation of supported rhodium catalysts using the supported ligands described in previous examples. Information in Table 2 shows the generality of this procedure.
• the appropriate supported ligand (a amount corresponding to 0.1 16-0.0116 mmole of contained bis(phosphite) groups) is slurried into 5 mL of dry, deoxygenated toluene.
• the toluene supernatant turns colorless as the Rh(CO) (acac) becomes loaded onto the support beads.
• the reuslting slurry is useful as obtained for catalytic reactions.
• Rh(CO) 2 (acac) loaded material prepared as described in Example 56.
• the amount of Rh(CO) 2 acac added was 3 mg.
• the amount of supported ligand charged was targeted at a 1:1 of chelate ligand to rhodium.
• the reactor was equipped with a by-pass line to allow for a flow of CO and H to be established before opening the inlet side ofthe reactor to feed gases.
• the desired temperature of 100°C was established in the reactor by means of a split tube furnace surrounding the reactor.
• a valve was turned on to begin passing CO and H 2 over the catalyst. Periodically, at times shown in Table 4.
• the reactor effluent samples were analyzed by gas chromatography for the amounts of unreacted propylene, linear and branched buyraldehyde.
• Examples 58-1 to 58-6 were all run at 100°C, with feeds of 4 cc each of CO, H 2 and propylene, except as noted, and at a total pressure of 100 psig.
• Table 4 shows the grams of catalyst and the weight percent of phosphorus in each catalyst used.
• the mole ratios of Rh/P shown in Table 4 are the ratios used to complex Rh to each catalyst from a solution of Rh(acetonylacetonate) (CO) 2 , before several rinsing times with toluene to remove uncomplexed Rh. Final Rh/P ratios should have been close to 0.5.

• Supported rhodium catalysts are prepared by treating a suspension ofthe supported ligand in toluene with Rh(CO) 2 (acac) so as to give a P/Rh ratio of 10:1.
• Rh(CO) 2 acac
• the resulting rhodium-loaded support is then activated by treatment at 95 °C and 75 psi H 2 /CO (1 :1) for 1 h before cooling to room temperature.
• the resulting activated catalyst thus obtained is suitable for catalytic hydroformylation.
• the supported rhodium catalysts prepared according to this procedure were used for 3PN hydroformylation catalysis in the following manner.
• To a suspension ofthe supported catalyst in toluene (5 mL, 200 ppm Rh, 10/1 P/Rh) is added sufficient 3PN to give a 1 M solution.
• the reactor is then heated to 95°C under 75 psi of CO/H 2 . After 2 h the reactor is cooled to room temperature, vented, and the supernatant is decanted and analyzed by gas chromatography on a Quadrex-23 Capillary column.
• the vessel was then pressurized to 100 psi CO/H (1 :1) and heated to 100°C with agitation for 2 hours. The heat was shut off and the pressure vessel was allowed to cool to room temperature. The excess gases were vented and the products were analyzed by gas chromatography on a 30 M DB-Wax® capillary GC column. The results are shown in the Table below.
