Abstract

New methodology for the hydrocarboxylation of alkenes and alkynes is of considerable interest, one focus being the search for new catalysts as well as the use of new acids as promoters. l-ll Homogeneous catalysts have been used in most cases to effect these transformations. Heterogeneous catalysts, whichoffer some advantages (eg, catalyst recovery and reuse) have not been widely investigated. In 1990 Inomata and co-workers ...
