Abstract

Pd (II)-catalyzed acetalization of terminal olefins with electron-withdrawing groups was carried out smoothly in supercritical carbon dioxide under oxygen atmosphere when polystyrene-supported benzoquinone (PS-BQ) or CuII (CuI) chloride was employed as cocatalyst. The higher selectivity was achieved, without any chlorinated by-product detected, when using PS-BQ instead of CuII (or CuI) chloride. PS-BQ could be recycled with ...
