The present invention is directed to (1) phase separation of a metal-organic ligand complex catalyst, optionally a polar phase consisting of a free organic ligand and a polar solvent, and a nonpolar phase consisting of one or more products and a nonpolar solvent. To obtain, by mixing the reaction product fluid with a nonpolar solvent and (2) recovering the nonpolar phase from the polar phase, wherein the organophosphorus ligand is greater than 10 between the polar solvent and the nonpolar solvent. A metal-organic ligand complex catalyst, optionally a free organic ligand, a polar solvent and said at least one product, characterized in that it has a partition coefficient and said at least one product has a partition coefficient greater than 0.5 between the nonpolar solvent and the polar solvent. For separating one or more products from the reaction product fluid It relates to the law. |
