T. Mandai et al., PREPARATION OF TRIESTERS BY PALLADIUM-CATALYZED VICINAL CARBONYLATIONOF 1-SUBSTITUTED-3-METHOXYCARBONYL-2-PROPYNYL METHYL CARBONATES, Tetrahedron letters, 35(31), 1994, pp. 5697-5700
The palladium-catalyzed vicinal carbonylation of the 1-substituted-3-m
ethoxycarbonyl-2-propynyl methyl carbonates 6 proceeds at room tempera
ture under atmospheric pressure of CO to give the triesters 7 in good
yields.
