The use of water as a reaction medium in place of organic solvents is of great current interest from the standpoint of environmentally benign synthesis of organics and polymers since the use of the former would significantly decrease harmful emissions, as well as cut costs associated with solvent recycling. A number of important transition-metal-catalyzed reactions such as hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and olefin metathesis, have been reported to proceed in an aqueous medium. Herein, the authors describe the synthesis of several new water-soluble palladium(II) complexes that catalyze the alternating copolymerization of olefins with carbon monoxide in water.
