Abstract
Unsaturated carboxylic acids, e.g., pentenoic acids, are prepared by carbonylating an allylic butenol and/or carboxylate ester thereof with carbon monoxide, in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of an iridium catalyst and an iodinated or brominated promoter therefor, and optionally, a copromoter, notably wherein the promoter/Ir molar ratio ranges from 0.1:1 to 20:1. The final product acids, e.g., 3-pentenoic acid, are themselves readily hydroxycarbonylated, for example, into adipic acid, via reaction with carbon monoxide and water.
