| Abstract | Glycerol is converted to a mixture of butyric and iso-butyric acid via the rhodium or iridium catalysed carbonylation using HI as the co-catalyst. The initial reaction of glycerol with HI results in several intermediates that lead to isopropyl iodide, which upon carbonylation forms butyric and isobutyric acid. At low HI concentration, the intermediate allyl iodide undergoes carbonylation to give vinyl acetic acid and crotonic acid. Higher poly-ols CnHn+2(OH)n are carbonylated to the corresponding Cn+1 mono-carboxylic acids. |
