The hydroformylation reaction — the addition of dihydrogen and carbon monoxide to an alkene or alkyne to produce an aldehyde — is one of the most important industrial chemical reactions. It is remarkable in that it converts simple, inexpensive starting materials into useful products. A new carbon–carbon bond is formed along with a very useful and reactive functionality.
