Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0037411A1] A process for the carbonylation of allylic butenyl ether (e.g., methyl crotyl ether, 3-methoxybutene-1 and mixtures thereof) or mixture of butadiene and alcohol (e.g., methanol) and production of beta-gamma unsaturated carboxylic acid esters (e.g., methyl-3-pentenoate) utilizing a rhodium-containing catalyst (e.g., dicarbonylacetylacetonate rhodium(I) or the like) promoted with an iodide-containing compound (e.g., HI, AlI3, SnI4, TiI4, CrI3, and CoI2 or the like). Such a process is particularly useful in the production of difunctional monomers and intermediates in the synthesis of adipic acid. The representative reaction showing (a) butadiene in the presence of methanol under catalytic reaction conditions producing the 3-methoxybutene-1 intermediate (a positional isomer of methyl crotyl ether) which is then combined with carbon monoxide to produce methyl pentenoate is illustrative of the overall carbonylation.
