Abstract

Reactions of a tetranuclear palladium cluster [Pd(CO)(OAc)[4 with C1-C3 alcohols have been found to proceed simultaneously via several routes to form CO, and dialkyl carbonates, the products of oxidation of coordinated CO ligands, along with carbonyl compounds which form due to oxidation of the corresponding alcohols. Alkoxy, alkoxycarbonyl, and acyl palladium derivatives are shown to be the intermediates of the reactions studied.
