Catalytic conversions in water. Part 9. High activity of the Pd/dpppr-s/Brønsted acid system in the alternating copolymerization of ethene and carbon monoxide {dpppr-s = C₃H₆-1,3-[P(C₆H₄-m-SO₃Na)₂]₂}

Abstract

The formation of alternating copolymers of ethene and carbon monoxide proceeds rapidly in the aqueous phase in the presence of a water-soluble palladium catalyst and a Brønsted acid; activities of >4 kg of polymer per g palladium per hour were observed.
