NEUARTIGE BASISCHE LIGANDEN FUER DIE HOMOGENKATALYTISCHE METHANOLCARBONYLIERUNG VII. 1,4-DIOXANYLMETHYLDIPHENYLPHOSPHAN ALS STEUERLIGAND BEI DER METHANOLHYDROCARBONYLIERUNG

The dioxane ligand Ph2PCH2C4H7O2, which is largely stable towards oxygen and hydrolysis, is obtained by reaction of ClCH2C4H7O2 with KPPh2 in THF.Concerning the hydrocarbonylation of methanol, the efficiency of this P,O ligand was proved using cobalt as a component of the catalyst and iodine as the promotor.While the conversion increased to 90percent, selectivity achieved a value of about 62percent.
