PREPARATION OF TRIALKYLACETIC ACIDS, PARTICULARLY OF PIVALIC ACID, USING LEWIS ACID CATALYSIS
摘要
<p>This invention is a process for the production of trialkyl acetic acids, particularly of pivalic acid, from branched olefins, particularly isobutene, and carbon monoxide using catalytic amounts of a Lewis acid such as boron trifluoride.</p>
