First sentence: The hydroformylation reaction, also known as the Roelen reaction, hydrocarbonylation, the oxo synthesis, or oxonation, comprises the addition of the constituents of synthesis gas ("syngas", the mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) to the double bond of an alkene (which include dienes, functionalized alkenes, etc.) yielding aldehydes (1): R-CH=CH2 + CO + H2 R-CH2-CH2-CHO.
