Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing an ester compound includes reacting a compound having at least one cyclic structure of a norbornene ring and a norbornadiene ring with an alcohol and carbon monoxide by using a palladium catalyst and an oxidizing agent, to thereby introduce ester groups to carbon atoms forming a double bond in the cyclic structure and obtaining the ester compound, wherein the palladium catalyst includes a palladium acetate having a nitrite ligand in an amount of 10% by mole or more in terms of metal, and the palladium acetate having a nitrite ligand is represented by the general formula (1): Pd 3 (CH 3 COO) 5 (NO 2 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing an ester compound comprising reacting a compound having at least one cyclic structure of a norbornene ring and a norbornadiene ring with an alcohol and carbon monoxide in the presence of a palladium-containing catalyst composition adapted for producing the ester compound and an oxidizing agent, to thereby introduce ester groups to carbon atoms forming a double bond in the cyclic structure and obtain the ester compound, wherein said palladium-containing catalyst composition comprises a palladium acetate having a nitrite ligand in an amount of 10% by mole or more in terms of metal, and the palladium acetate having a nitrite ligand is represented by the following general formula (1): Pd 3 (CH 3 COO) 5 (NO 2 )  (1); and, wherein said oxidizing agent is capable of oxidizing Pd 0 to Pd 2+ . 2. The method for producing an ester compound according to claim 1 , wherein the palladium catalyst comprises the palladium acetate having a nitrite ligand in an amount of 30% by mole or more in terms of metal. 3. A palladium-containing catalyst composition adapted for use with an oxidizing agent for producing an ester compound obtained by a method comprising reacting a compound having at least one cyclic structure of a norbornene ring and a norbornadiene ring with an alcohol and carbon monoxide in the presence of said palladium-containing catalyst composition and said oxidizing agent, to thereby introduce ester groups to carbon atoms forming a double bond in the cyclic structure and obtain said ester compound, wherein said palladium-containing catalyst composition comprises a palladium acetate having a nitrite ligand in an amount of 10% by mole or more in terms of metal, and the palladium acetate having a nitrite ligand is represented by the following general formula (1): Pd 3 (CH 3 COO) 5 (NO 2 )  (1); and wherein said oxidizing agent is capable of oxidizing Pd 0 to Pd 2+ . 4. The palladium catalyst according to claim 3 , wherein the palladium catalyst comprises the palladium acetate having a nitrite ligand in an amount of 30% by mole or more in terms of metal.
