Novel functionalised phosphines relevant to the methoxycarbonylation of ethylene

Several novel o-xylene bridged diphosphine ligands have been synthesised, and their activity tested in the palladium catalysed methoxycarbonylation of ethylene. Particular interest has been paid to the synthesis of phosphine ligands with tertiary-alkyl groups pendant to the phosphorus atoms. Results...
