Pd-Catalyzed Regie- and Stereo-selective Carboxylation of Cycloalkanes with CO

Abstract
The reactions of cycloalkanes with CO via the C–H bond activation by Pd(OAc)2 catalyst have been found to proceed regio- and stereo-selectively to give corresponding carboxylic acids. The reactivity of C–H bonds of cycloalkanes decreases in the order: tert- > sec- > prim-carbon, and the stereochemistry of the substituents on the main products is all equatorial.
