Abstract

Thiourea-based ligands were evaluated for the palladium-catalyzed bis(methoxycarbonylation) of terminal olefins. The usefulness of these ligands for this reaction is demonstrated by their stability to oxidizing agents, and their superiority in preventing palladium precipitation and double-bond isomerization.
