Reactions based on CO allow the synthesis of almost all oxygen-containing organic compounds, which are important raw materials for obtaining practically valuable products of wide consumption. Alkoxycarbonylation of olefins with CO and various alcohols in the presence of metal complex catalysts synthesizes esters of carboxylic acids in one step. The purpose:In accordance with previously synthesized ethyl esters of enanthic and 2-methylcapronic acids in the reaction of ethoxycarbonylation of hexene-1 with СОin the presence of the catalytic system PdCl2(PPh3)2-PPh3-AlCl3in this work we planned to synthesize ethyl esters of capronic and 2-methylvalerian acids by hydroethoxycarbonylation of pentene-1 with CO in the presence of the same catalytic system. Methodology: The autoclave was sealedand then filled with CO to 1.5 MPa pressure. The pressure of CO was brought to 2.0 MPa, the temperature was raised to 1000C for 1 hour and at this pressure and temperature the reaction mixture was stirred for 5 h. Results and discussion: Experimental results show that the reaction proceeds with the formation of two isomeric products of linear (EECA) and branched structure (EE-2-MVA). Optimal reaction conditions have been found, at which the yield of the target products (sum of isomeric esters of EECA and EE-2-MVA) reaches 74.72 %. Conclusion:The catalytic activity of the three-component system PdCl2(PPh3)2-PPh3-AlCl3 containing AlCl3as a promoter in the reaction of ethoxycarbonylation of pentene-1 has been established. The reaction proceeds with the formation of two isomeric products of linear (EECA) and branched structure (EE-2-MVA).
