CARBONYLATION OF 1-PERFLUOROALKYL-SUBSTITUTED 2-IODOALKANES CATALYZED BY TRANSITION-METAL COMPLEXES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)99372-9

Carboxylic acids and esters with perfluoroalkyl substituent at β position were synthesized in good yields from 1-perfluoroalkyl-substituted 2-iodoalkanes and carbon monoxide with water or alcohols in the presence of base by using group VIII transition-metal complexes as catalysts.
