Carboxylic acids can be synthesized by reacting olefins with carbon monoxide and water in the presence of a variety of transition metal catalysts. Mechanisms involved in hydrocarboxylation reactions are discussed in this paper. The following topics are covered: investigation of the route to metal-carbon bond formation during rhodium-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of ethylene; investigations into the mechanism of the iridium-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of olefins; synthesis of reaction intermediates; reactions of the catalytically significant iridium complexes; catalytic cycle; and the cobalt-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation and hydroesterification of olefins.
