        It has been shown that the hydroformylation reaction is often accompanied by hydrogenation; indeed, in some instances, hydrogenation proceeds to the exclusion of hydroformylation.  Evidence is presented that strongly indicates that the great variety of hydrogenations that occur in the presence of Co and a high partial pressure of CO probably proceeded by homogeneous catalysis in which [Co(CO)₄]₂ or HCo(CO)₄ functions as the catalyst.
