The direct carbonylation of 1,3-butadiene offers the potential for a more cost-efficient and environmentally benign route to industrially important adipic acid derivatives. However, owing to the complex reaction network of regioisomeric carbonylation and isomerization pathways, a selective practical catalyst for this process has thus far proven elusive. Here, we report the design of a pyridyl-substituted bidentate phosphine ligand (HeMaRaphos) that, upon coordination to palladium, catalyzes adipate diester formation from 1,3-butadiene, carbon monoxide, and butanol with 97% selectivity and 100% atom-economy under industrially viable and scalable conditions (turnover number > 60,000). This catalyst system also affords access to a variety of other di- and triesters from 1,2- and 1,3-dienes.
Oxidation of cycloalkanones with hydrogen peroxide: an alternative route to the Baeyer-Villiger reaction. Synthesis of dicarboxylic acid esters

The acid-catalyzed oxidation of cycloalkanones C5-C8 and C12 with hydrogen peroxide in alcohols was performed, and dicarboxylic acid esters were obtained as the major products in 53-70% yields. In the first step, geminal bishydroperoxides are generated from five-to-seven-membered cyclic ketones. The Baeyer-Villiger reaction is a side process accompanied by the formation of ω-hydroxycarboxylic acid esters.
