Oxidative Carbonylation of Ethylene—Elimination of Alcohol from p-Alkoxypropionates. Spectacular progress in the 1970s led to the rapid development of organotransition-metal chemistry, particularly to catalyze olefin reactions (93,94). A number of patents have been issued (28,95—97) for the oxidative carbonylation of ethylene to provide acryUc acid and esters. The procedure is based on the palladium catalyzed carbonylation of ethylene in the Hquid phase at temperatures of 50—200°C. Esters are formed when alcohols are included. Anhydrous conditions are desirable to minimize the formation of by-products including acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide (see Acetaldehyde).

In the last decade, a new aspect of nickel-catalyzed reactions has been disclosed, where nickel serves to selectively activate dienes as either an al-lyl anion species or a homoallyl anion species (Scheme 1). These anionic species are very important reactive intermediates for the construction of desired molecules. Traditionally they have been prepared in a stoichiometric manner from the corresponding halides and typical metals, e.g., Li, Mg. In this context, the catalytic generation method of allyl anions and homoallyl anions disclosed here might greatly contribute to synthetic organic chemistry and organotransition metal chemistry.

It is now clear that pure pheromones can be synthesized in quantity. The problem is how to prepare them simply and efficiently. New synthetic methodologies are always welcome to improve the existing syntheses. Organoborane reactions and organotransition metal chemistry contributed much to improve the efficiency of carbon-carbon bond formation, while asymmetric epoxidations and dihydroxylations as well as enzymatic reactions greatly improved the enantiomeric purity of synthetic pheromones.
