A novel catalytic domino reductive hydroformylation–esterification of olefins is reported. The optimal protocol makes use of an inexpensive Ru carbonyl catalyst and uses acetic acid as both solvent and reactant. In general, moderate to good yields are obtained using aliphatic or aromatic olefins including industrially relevant di-isobutene. This atom-efficient catalytic transformation provides straightforward access to various acetate esters from unfunctionalized olefins.

钌催化烯烃的多米诺加氢甲酰化-氢化-酯化

报道了一种新型的烯烃催化多米诺还原加氢甲酰化-酯化。最佳方案使用廉价的 Ru 羰基催化剂，并使用乙酸作为溶剂和反应物。通常，使用脂肪族或芳香族烯烃（包括工业相关的二异丁烯）可获得中等至良好的产率。这种原子效率高的催化转化提供了从未官能化烯烃直接获得各种醋酸酯的途径。
