Abstract

Results We first reexamined the reaction of cyclopropane with palladium chloride in benzene under 100 atm of carbon monoxide at 90" C. We found that the ratio of chlorobutyrates (73%) to n-propylbenzene (27% 1 was similar to that reported earlier. 3 While the formation and ratio of these products was not too dependent upon carbon monoxide pressure and temperature, we did find that the ratio of products was very ...
