Pd-Catalyzed Regioselective Branched Hydrocarboxylation of Terminal Olefins with Formic Acid

A regioselective Pd-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of terminal olefins with HCOOH is described. A wide variety of branched carboxylic acids can readily be obtained with high regioselectivities under mild reaction conditions. The reaction is operationally simple and requires no handling of toxic CO. The ligand and LiCl are important factors for reaction reactivity and selectivity.

Manufacture of C13 higher fatty acids from their esters by carbonylation of dodecene-1 in ionic liquid medium

The effect of catalyst nature, temperature, acidity, promoters, and feedstock composition on dodecene-1 carbonylation in the presence of Pd compounds in an ionic liquid medium yielding higher fatty acid and their esters was studied. Palladium salts without phosphine ligands show high activity in tetrabutylammonium bromide. In systems of this kind, the catalyst is suspended in the reaction mass in the form of Pd particles with a size of 4-10 nm. It was shown that the catalytic system can be repeatedly used without loss of activity. It is acceptable to use synthesis gas instead of bare carbon monoxide with the selectivity for tride-canoic acid increasing.

Hydrocarboxylation of terminal alkenes in supercritical carbon dioxide

The catalytic hydrocarboxylation of linear alkenes to carboxylic acids using supercritical carbon dioxide as a solvent was studied. High selectivities in acids have been obtained. The best results were achieved when adding a perfluorinated surfactant to the reaction mixture (93% conversions and ca. 80% selectivity). Comparative multinuclear high-pressure NMR spectroscopic studies in [D8]THF and in supercritical CO2 show the formation of Pd0 species. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2008.
