development of novel carbonylative transformations usingCOsurrogates. Consequently, toxic CO gas can be replaced by more convenient inorganic or organic carbonyl compounds. Herein, the first regioselectivemethoxycarbonylation of alkenes with paraformaldehyde and methanol as CO substitutes is reported. This new procedure is applicable to a series of alkenes in the presence of a palladium catalyst under
report a general and efficient Pd-catalysed alkoxycarbonylation of sterically hindered and demanding olefins including a variety of tri-, tetra-substituted and 1,1-disubstituted alkenes. In the presence of 1,3-bis(tert-butyl(pyridin-2-yl)phosphanyl)propane L3 or 1,4-bis(tert-butyl(pyridin-2-yl)phosphanyl)butane L4 the desired esters are obtained in good yields and selectivities. Similar transformation
A general palladium-catalyzedsynthesis of linear esters directly from sec- and tert-alcohols is described. Compared to the classic Koch–Haaf reaction, which leads to branched products, this new transformation gives the corresponding linear esters in high yields and selectivity. Key for this protocol is the use of an advanced palladium catalyst system with L2 (pytbpx) as the ligand. A variety of aliphatic
直接从直链酯的一般钯催化合成的仲-和叔-醇进行说明。与导致分支产物的经典科赫-哈夫反应相比,这种新的转化以高收率和选择性提供了相应的线性酯。该协议的关键是使用具有L2(py t bpx)作为配体的高级钯催化剂体系。可以直接使用多种脂族和苄醇,基准反应的催化剂效率非常出色(周转数高达89 000)。
Palladium-Catalyzed Selective Generation of CO from Formic Acid for Carbonylation of Alkenes
A general and selective palladium-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of all kinds of alkenes with formic acid (HCOOH, FA) is described. Terminal, di-, tri-, and tetra-substituted including functionalized olefins are converted into linear esters with high yields and regioselectivity. Key-to-success is the use of specific palladium catalysts containing ligands with built-in base, e.g., L5. Comparison experiments
