Abstract

The ability of transition metal complexes to activate organic molecules makes them attractive prospects for developing catalytic processes with high selectivity and high atom economy. 1 In our continuing study on hydrocarbonation, 2 hydroamination, 3and hydrosulfination4 of allenes to develop a new process for ecochemistry, we concentrated on the addition of carboxylic acids (hydrocarboxylation) to allenes. The addition of HX (X) halogen) to olefins ...
