Olefins are converted to alcohols by a one-step, hydroformylation process comprising contacting an olefin, such as 1-hexene, with a gaseous mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst prepared by loading a bimetallic cluster of the formula: RhxCOyCO12 wherein both x and y are each integers of 1-3 with the proviso that SIGMA (x + y) = 4, onto an amine resin. |
