The challenging carbonylation of propargyl alcohol is effectively catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 in combination with diphenyl-(6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)phosphine and methanesulfonic acid. In dichloroethane at 20–50 ◦C, the reaction affords with almost complete regioselectivity alkyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)acrylates. Turnover frequency numbers (TOF) of up to 450 h−1 can be achieved working at 50 ◦C, while a maximum turnover number (TON) of about 730 is obtained at 30 ◦C. The catalyst longevity is limited because the carbonylation product reacts with the phosphorus atom of the ligand to give a quaternary phosphonium salt. This reaction leads to deactivation of the catalyst and eventually to palladium black formation.

Abstract

The challenging carbonylation of propargyl alcohol is effectively catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 in combination with diphenyl-(6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)phosphine and methanesulfonic acid. In dichloroethane at 20–50 ◦C, the reaction affords with almost complete regioselectivity alkyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)acrylates. Turnover frequency numbers (TOF) of up to 450 h−1 can be achieved working at 50 ◦C, while a maximum turnover number (TON) of about 730 is obtained at 30 ◦C. The catalyst longevity is limited because the carbonylation product reacts with the phosphorus atom of the ligand to give a quaternary phosphonium salt. This reaction leads to deactivation of the catalyst and eventually to palladium black formation.
