Significance

The authors describe a palladium-catalyzed dicarbonylation of 1,3-dienes using carbon monoxide. Various adipate diesters were ­produced in good to excellent yield with high selectivity.

Comment

The authors used kinetic experiments to support the proposed mechanism. Scaling up the reaction to over 200 g with a lower catalyst loading gave the product in excellent yield and ­selectivity.
