In terms of scale, carbonylations are among the most important homogeneously catalyzed processes in industry.[1] Within this class of reactions, alkoxycarbonylations, also called hydroesterifications, represent a straightforward method for the conversion of olefins, CO, and alcohols to the corresponding esters.[2] Nickel-based catalysts were originally employed, as described in the seminal work by Reppe and Vetter.[3] However, nowadays ...
