A process for the carbonylation of a conjugated diene, comprising reacting the conjugated diene with carbon monoxide and a co-reactant having a mobile hydrogen atom in the presence of a catalyst system including: (a) a source of palladium; and (b) a bidentate diphosphine ligand of formula (II): R1R2 > p1R3m-R-R4n-p2 < R5R6 wherein p1 and p2 represent phosphorus atoms; R 1, R2, R5, and R6 independently represent the same or different optionally substituted organic radical containing a tertiary carbon atom through which each radical is linked to the phosphorus atom; R3 and R4independently represent the same or different optionally substituted methylene groups; R represents an organic group comprising the bivalent bridging group C1-C 2 through which R is connected to R3 and R4; m and n independently represent a natural number in the range of from 0 to 4, wherein the rotation about the bond between the carbon atoms C1 and C2 of the bridging group is restricted a temperature in the range of from 0 °C to 250 °C, and wherein the dihedral angle between the plane occupied by the three atom sequence composed of C1, C2 and the atom directly bonded to C1 in the direction of p 1, and the plane occupied by the three atom sequence C1, C2 and the atom directly bonded to C2 in the direction of p2, is in the range of from 0 to 120° and (c) a source of an anion.
