Abstract
This invention relates to a hydroformylation process which comprises reacting one or more olefinic unsaturated compounds with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a metal-organopolyphosphite ligand complex catalyst to produce a reaction product fluid comprising one or more aldehydes, wherein said hydroformylation process is conducted at a free organopolyphosphite ligand concentration sufficient to prevent and/or lessen hydrolytic degradation of the organopolyphosphite ligand and deactivation of the metal-organopolyphosphite ligand complex catalyst.
