1-Butanol → Acetoxybutoxybutene

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction was carried out by adding 0.0020 g (0.0040 mmol) of trisdibenzylideneacetone dipalladium having a palladium content of 21.5 wt % and 0.0173 g (0.0162 mmol) of the above (L-26) bidentate phosphite in an amount of 4 equivalents to a container substituted with nitrogen, adding 1.418 g (8.233 mmol) of cis-1,4-diacetoxy-2-butene and 2.327 g (31.395 mmol) of 1-butanol thereto under nitrogen atmosphere, and heating the resultant mixture at 100° C. After reacting 5 hours, the resultant solution composition was analyzed by gas chromatography, and it was found that cis-1,4-diacetoxy-2-butene was converted at a conversion rate of 97.5%, and 71.8% of dibutoxybutene and 25.7% of acetoxybutoxybutene were produced.
