Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of allyl phosphates under CO (1 atm) at 50" C proceeds highly efficiently to give the corresponding j3, y-unsaturated esters. The carbonylation of geranyl phosphate ((E)-11) under CO (1 atm) at 50 OC gave ethyl ester of homogeranic acid ((E)-12) stereoselectively. The carbonylation takes place at the least substituted allylic positions with inversion of configuration. Typically, the ...
