TETRACARBONYL COBALTATE ION SUPPORTED ON ANION EXCHANGERS AS A NEW HETEROGENIZED HOMOGENEOUS CATALYST: SYNTHESIS OF ACIDS AND ESTERS FROM ORGANIC HALIDES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(83)85028-1

Catalysts consisting of tetracarbonyl cobaltate anion supported on commercially available anion exchange resins are readily prepared.Carbonylation of organic halides using this heterogenized catalyst leads either to acids or esters depending on the conditions.Some features of this catalytic system and the possible reaction mechanism are discussed.
