Abstract

The catalytic performance of cobalt complex catalysts coordinated with various poly(ionic liquids) for the methoxycarbonylation of diisobutene into methyl isononanoate was investigated. The poly(ionic liquids) were synthesized via a solvothermal polymerization method and were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption and elemental analyses. A diisobutene conversion of 88.0% and a methyl isononanoate selectivity of 91.4% were achieved using HVIMI-VPy-DVB (1 : 1)@Co2(CO)8 as catalysts at the optimized reaction conditions of 8.0 MPa CO and 150 °C. Furthermore, the catalyst system can be suitable for the methoxycarbonylation of various terminal olefins and exhibits high recoverability and thermostability.
