The Wacker Reaction and Related Oxidations. An important industrial process based on Pd-alkene complexes is the Wacker reaction, a catalytic method for conversion of ethene to acetaldehyde. The first step is addition of water to the Pd(n)-activated alkene. The addition intermediate undergoes the characteristic elimination of Pd(0) and H+ to generate the enol of acetaldehyde. [Pg.709]
