Carbonylation of Methyloxirane to Methyl b-Hydroxylbutyrate by Cobalt Carbonyl Catalysts CHEN Jing, FU Hongxiang, TONG Jin (Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lanzhou 730000) Abstract Methyloxirane was converted with carbon monoxide and methanol to methyl b-hydroxybutyrate in the presence of Co2(CO)8/3-hydroxypyridine catalyst system. The salts compound, which may be inorganic or organic has accelerating effect on the hydroesterification of methyloxirane. Under optimum conditions, T=80°Cand p=7.0MPa for 6h, sodium acetate as co-catalyst employed, a 93% conversion of methyloxirane can be obtained with a selectivity of 97% methyl b-hydroxylbutyrate. In addition, the effect of reaction of methyloxirane in the presence N-compound ligands and solvents was examined.
