Abstract

All the intermediates involved in the platinum catalysed methoxycarbonylation of ethene have been characterised by in situ NMR; the low activity of platinum catalysts in this reaction is shown to be due to trapping of the active intermediates by carbon monoxide at every step in the catalytic cycle and to the ready reversibility of the product forming reactions.
