Kt. Huh et H. Alper, USE OF A CATIONIC HYDRIDOAQUOPALLADIUM(II) COMPLEX AS A CATALYST FOR OLEFIN HYDROESTERIFICATION, Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, 15(4), 1994, pp. 304-306
The cationic palladium complex, (Cy3P)2Pd(H)(H2O)+BF4-, 1, catalyzes t
he hydroesterification of olefins to give straight-chain esters as the
major products. The catalytic system consists of 1, p-toluenesulfonic
acid, 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino) butane.
