The metal-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of a lactone is a method of alkoxycarbonylating a δ-lactone, specifically 3-ethylidene-6-vinyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one. The method includes combining the δ-lactone with an alcohol in an organic solvent in the presence of a catalyst system that includes palladium or a salt thereof to form a reaction mixture, which is heated to 110-130° C. at a pressure of 20-50 bar for between 3-5 hours under flow of carbon monoxide gas. The product of the reaction is a substituted 2-octendioate diester. The alcohol may be methyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexanol, isobutyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, or phenol. The solvent may be toluene, acetonitrile, or tetrahydrofuran. The method may include adding an acid to the reaction mixture, which may be dilute (about 5 mol %) sulfuric or p-toluenesulfonic acid. The catalyst system may also include a phosphine ligand.
内酯的金属催化烷氧基羰基化是一种δ-内酯,特别是 3-亚乙基-6-乙烯基四氢-2H-吡喃-2-酮的烷氧基羰基化方法。该方法包括在包括钯或钯盐的催化剂体系存在下,在有机溶剂中将δ-内酯与醇结合,形成反应混合物,在一氧化碳气体流动下,将反应混合物加热至 110-130 摄氏度,压力为 20-50 巴,时间为 3-5 小时。反应产物为取代的 2-辛二酸二酯。醇可以是甲醇、正丁醇、2-乙基己醇、异丁醇、异丙醇、苯甲醇或苯酚。溶剂可以是甲苯、乙腈或四氢呋喃。该方法可包括向反应混合物中加入一种酸,这种酸可以是稀硫酸或对甲苯磺酸(约 5 摩尔%)。催化剂体系还可包括膦配体。
