Cutler, A R

We are interested in devising novel carbonylation procedures that convert alkyl complexes into their acyl derivatives. Alkyl complexes containing ..cap alpha..-alkoxy or other oxy functionalities are especially of interest, since the alkyl-CO migratory-insertion step is central to converting synthesis gas to organic molecules with homogeneous catalysts. In our studies methoxymethyl complexes are used as model substrates. The presence of a methoxy group on methoxymethyl complexes kinetically retards their carbonylation. Our objective is to develop synthetic procedures that promote this reaction. Coordinated ligand reactions are also discussed. 20 refs.
