This paper studies the effect of the replacement of CO by synthesis gas relative to the hydrocarboxylation of styrene. The reaction was carried out in dioxane using PdCl/sub 2/(Ph/sub 3/P)/sub 2/(I) with added SnCl/sub 2/ as the catalyst. The carbonylation of styrene in the presence of (I) in dioxane is accomplished by 99% yield and high selectivity relative to the alpha-isomer (93%) at low CO pressures (20 atm). The replacement of CO by synthesis gas leads to a decrease in selectivity but does not affect the product yield.
