Tandem isomerisation-carbonylation catalysis: highly active palladium(II) catalysts for the selective methoxycarbonylation of internal alkenes to linear esters
Ri. Pugh et al., Tandem isomerisation-carbonylation catalysis: highly active palladium(II) catalysts for the selective methoxycarbonylation of internal alkenes to linear esters, CHEM COMMUN, (16), 2001, pp. 1476-1477
Fast, selective conversion of internal olefins to linear esters is catalyse
d by Pd(II) complexes of chelating bis(phosphaadamantyl)diphosphines and th
e catalysis is acutely sensitive to the ligand backbone and even to the dia
stereomer used; the results are compared with those for the PBU2t analogue.
