| 摘要 |
A process for producing anα,β-unsaturated bond-containing ester compound, comprising: reacting an internal olefin or a cyclic olefin having one carbon-carbon double bond or more at a position other than terminals of a molecule thereof (the internal olefin and the cyclic olefin may each contain a hetero atom) with a carboxylic acid in an amide-based solvent in the presence of a palladium catalyst, a base, and molecular oxygen, thereby bonding a carboxyl group of the carboxylic acid to at least one of carbon atoms constituting the carbon-carbon double bond and carbon atoms at allylic positions of the internal olefin or the cyclic olefin, to obtain an ester compound having anα,β-unsaturated bond, the amide-based solvent being represented by the following formula (1): (in the formula (1), R1 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; R2 and R3 each independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or an aryl group; and when R1 and R2 are alkyl groups, R1 and R2 may be bonded to each other to form a ring structure). |
