Abstract Hydroformylation of 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) in benzene with Rh4(CO)12/PMe2Ph or Rh4CO12 as catalytic precursor shows completely different chemoselectivity, carbonylation product (branched aldehyde) largely prevailing with the first catalyst, hydrogenation product 4-ethylpyridine (4EP) with the second one. Different phosphines and P/Rh ratios were also used, and a comparison with 3-vinylpyridine (3VP) under the same experimental conditions was made too. In all the experiments 3VP exclusively gives aldehidic products. In the case of 4VP, hydrogenation prevails on carbonylation at low P/Rh ratio (
