The catalytic activity of the Pd(PPh 3 ) 4 -TsOH and Pd(PPh 3 ) 4 -PPh 3 -TsOH systems in the reaction of isobutylene hydromenthoxycarbonylation with carbon monoxide and l -menthol has been examined. It has been found that the reaction proceeds regioselectively yielding the linear product l -menthyl isovalerate. Optimal conditions have been found for running the process. The spatial structure of l -menthyl isovalerate synthesized via the isobutylene hydromenthoxycarbonylation reaction has been established by 1 H and 13 C NMR techniques.
