title: Highly active and selective palladium catalyst for hydroesterification of styrene and vinyl acetate promoted by polymeric sulfonic acids.
abstract: Highly efficient, selective and recyclable palladium catalyst systems for hydroesterification of styrene and vinyl acetate were realized by using 1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)benzene as ligand and polymeric sulfonic acids of limited SO(3)H loadings as promoter.
