E. Monflier et al., SOLVENT-FREE TELOMERIZATION OF BUTADIENE WITH WATER INTO OCTADIENOLS IN THE PRESENCE OF NONIONIC SURFACTANT - EFFICIENT MICELLAR CATALYSIS, Catalysis letters, 34(1-2), 1995, pp. 201-212
Telomerization of butadiene with water into 2,7-octadien-1-ol using a
palladium-hydrosoluble phosphine system was investigated. The reaction
was carried out without solvent in the presence of carbon dioxide and
a nonionic surfactant. Promoted effect of neutral surfactant appeared
above the critical micelle concentration and the conversion and the s
electivity depended on the structure of nonionic surfactant hydrophili
c part. The role of the nonionic surfactant is discussed.
