Abstract
A new carbonylation reaction, namely “triple carbonylation” of olefins catalysed by cationic palladium complexes to substituted 2-oxoglutarates, has been developed. Even though the chemoselectivity is not high, this reaction allows a one-step synthesis of substituted 2-oxoglutarates with fair to excellent enantioselectivity (enantiomeric excess up to 92%). The reaction is completely regioselective for styrene whereas with aliphatic olefins two regioisomers are formed.
