Page/Page column 55-56, (2010/04/03)
A novel bidentate catalytic ligand of general formula (I) is described. R represents a hydrocarbyl aromatic structure having at least one aromatic ring to which Q 1 and Q 2 are each linked, via the respective linking group, if present, on available adjacent atoms of the at least one aromatic ring. The groups X 3 and X 4 represent radicals joined via tertiary carbon atoms to the respective atom Q 1 and the groups X 1 and X 2 represent radicals joined via primary, or substituted aromatic ring carbon atom(s) to the respective atom Q 2. A and B represent an optional lower alkylene linking group. Q 1 and Q 2 each represent phosphorus, arsenic or antimony. A process for the carbonylation of ethylenically unsaturated compounds comprising reacting the compound with carbon monoxide in the presence of a source of hydroxyl groups, optionally, a source of anions and catalyst system obtainable by combining a metal of Group 8, 9 or 10 or a compound thereof and the bidentate ligand of general formula (I) is also described.
