General Description

2-Methylundecanoic acid is a organic compound that belongs to the class of carboxylic acids. It is a saturated fatty acid with a molecular formula C12H24O2 and a molecular weight of 200.32 g/mol. This chemical is a colorless, viscous liquid with a slightly unpleasant odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. 2-Methylundecanoic acid is primarily used in the production of various esters, such as methyl, ethyl, and propyl esters, which are used in the manufacture of fragrances, flavors, and other industrial applications. It is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of organic compounds and as a component in the production of lubricants and surfactants.

Ruthenium-catalysed hydroxycarbonylation of olefins

State-of-the-art catalyst systems for hydroxy- and alkoxycarbonylations of olefins make use of palladium complexes. In this work, we report a complementary ruthenium-catalysed hydroxycarbonylation of olefins applying an inexpensive Ru-precursor (Ru3(CO)12) and PCy3as a ligand. Crucial for the success of this transformation is the use of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as the solvent in the presence of an acid co-catalyst (PTSA). Overall, moderate to good yields are obtained using aliphatic olefins including the industrially relevant substrate di-isobutene. This atom-efficient catalytic transformation provides straightforward access to various carboxylic acids from unfunctionalized olefins.
