The present invention relates to a dinuclear metallocene compound with a new structure which can manufacture polyolefin having high molecular weight and to a method for preparing the same. The dinuclear metallocene compound according to the present invention is a dinuclear metallocene compound with a new structure, and, unlike a single-site catalyst, has high accessibility to a substrate, and thus, can provide a multi-site catalyst with high activity.

Dinuclear metallocene compound, and a method for preparing the same

Provided are a catalyst composition comprising a bidentate ligand, a monodentate ligand, and a transition metal catalyst and a process of hydroformylation of olefin compounds, comprising reacting the olefin compound with a gas mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide while being stirred at elevated pressures and temperatures in the presence of the catalyst composition to produce an aldehyde. The catalytic composition demonstrates the high catalytic activity and option control of selectivity to normal aldehyde or iso aldehyde (N/I selectivity) to a desired value.

Provided are a catalyst composition comprising a bidentate ligand, a monodentate ligand, and a transition metal catalyst and a process of hydroformylation of olefins, comprising reacting the olefin compound with gas mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide with stirring at an elevated pressure and temperature in the presence of the catalyst composition to produce aldehyde. The present catalytic compositions show high catalytic activity, high normal-to-iso aldehyde selectivity, and high stability.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing trimethylolpropane (TMP) comprising the steps of: 1) synthesizing trimethylolpropane by using n-butyl aldehyde, an aqueous solution of formaldehyde and an aqueous solution of alkali metal hydroxide through aldol condensation reaction and Cannizzaro reaction; 2) extracting trimethylolpropane from a resultant mixture of the step 1) by contacting the resultant mixture with an alcohol having 6 to 10 carbons; 3) removing alkali metal ion from a resultant extract of the step 2) by contacting the resultant extract with water; and 4) distilling the alkali metal ion-removed extract obtained from the step 3). According to the present invention, a separate formaldehyde recovery process can be omitted, the extraction efficiency of TMP can be maximized with using a relatively small amount of extraction solvent, the separation and recovery processes for extraction solvent can be simplified since a mixture of solvents is not used for TMP extraction, and the yield of TMP can be maximized while the amount of generated waste water can be minimized, thereby producing TMP economically with good efficiency.
