Abstract
Addition of ruthenium compounds (Ru(acac)(3), Ru-3(CO)(12)) to cobalt catal ysts for pent-3-ene nitrile alkoxycarbonylation increases both activity and selectivity in the production of cyanoesters by (i) reducing the amount of Co(II) and facilitating the generation of the active carbonylation species , HCo(CO)(n), and (ii) improving the isomerisation of pentene nitriles, pro viding significant amounts of pent-4-ene nitrile for the formation of the o mega-ester.
