Abstract
Methyl cyclohexanecarboxylate was obtained in high yields by the carbonylation of cyclohexene in a methanol solution using palladium(II) chloride–triphenylphosphine as the catalyst. The effects of variables, such as initial concentration of palladium(II) chloride, pressure of carbon monoxide, and temperature, upon the rate of carbonylation were examined kinetically. A probable reaction mechanism is proposed.
