Mi. Terekhova et al., COMPLEXES OF PDCL2 WITH PHOSPHORYL-SUBSTITUTED AND THIOPHOS-PHORYL-SUBSTITUTED PHOSPHINES AS CATALYSTS FOR THE HYDROCARBOXYLATION OF OLEFINS, Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Division of Chemical Sciences, 41(9), 1992, pp. 1555-1558
The influence of the ligands Ph2P(CH2)mP(X)Ph2 (L), Where m = 1, 2 and
X = O, S, on the rate and regional selectivity of the hydrocarboxylat
ion of alpha-olefins has been investigated, catalyzed by PdCl2, in a s
eries of organic solvents. A high regional selectivity of the process
(> 80%) for products with normal structure has been achieved by using
L with m = 2, X = O. The influence of the ligand used and of triphenyl
phosphine on the properties of the catalytic system in the given react
ion has been compared.
