PROCESS FOR DOUBLE CARBONYLATION OF ALLYL ALCOHOLS TO CORRESPONDING DIESTERS

The invention relates to a process for doubly carbonylating allyl alcohols to the corresponding diesters, wherein a linear or branched allyl alcohol is reacted with a linear or branched alkanol (alcohol) with supply of CO and in the presence of a catalytic system composed of a palladium complex and at least one organic phosphorus ligand and in the presence of a hydrogen halide selected from HCl, HBr and HI.

Electrochemical deacetylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds

Mild deacetylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds was achieved by halonium-ion mediated electrolysis. In this reaction, the supporting electrolyte including sodium halide NaX (X = Cl or Br) was essential since the reaction proceeded through substitution by a halonium ion, generated electrochemically at anode, on active methine carbons followed by base-aitalyzed deacctylation, and was terminated by reductive dehalogenation of the formed α-halo carbonyl compounds at cathode.
