Development of palladium-carbene catalysts for telomerization and dimerization of 1,3-dienes: from basic research to industrial applications

Chemistry. 2008;14(25):7408-20. doi: 10.1002/chem.200800858.

Abstract

The following account summarises recent developments in the area of palladium-catalysed telomerisation and dimerisation reactions of 1,3-dienes. The most active types of catalyst, palladium-carbene complexes, were tested in pilot plant and proved to be industrially viable.
