FACILE SYNTHESIS OF ACETYLENECARBOXYLATES BY THE OXIDATIVE CARBONYLATION OF TERMINAL ACETYLENES CATALYSED BY PdCl2 UNDER MILD CONDITIONS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)71522-X

Terminal acetylenes were converted to acetylenecarboxylates in high yields under athmospheric pressure of carbon monoxide at room temperature using a catalytic amount of PdCl2 and a stoichiometric amount of CuCl2.
