High activities and selectivities are obtained for the rhodium‐catalyzed hydroformylation of methyl acrylate in biphasic and “supported aqueous phase” (SAP) systems [Eq. (a)]. The biphasic system Rh/P(C 6 H 4 SO 3 Na) 3 1 is twice as active as the classic Rh/PPh 3 combination (homogeneous system), and the SAP system Rh/P(C 6 H 4 SO 3 Na) 3 /SiO 2 2 is twenty times more active.
