Rhodium-catalyzed carbonylative dimerization of butyl acrylate: A model study

Publication date: 15 March 2020Source: Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, Volume 910Author(s): Hai Wang, Xiao-Feng WuAbstractA model study on carbonylative dimerization of butyl acrylate was described here. With [RhCp*Cl2]2 as the catalyst and Ac-Gly-OH as the acidic additive, dibutyl (E)-4-oxohept-2-enedioate (2) and dibutyl 4-oxoheptanedioate (3) were synthesized.Graphical abstract
