title: Hydroesterification of alkenes with sodium formate and alcohols promoted by cooperative catalysis of Ru3(CO)12 and 2-pyridinemethanol.
abstract: A chelation-assisted hydroesterification reaction of alkenes with sodium formate and alcohols that involves cooperative catalysis by Ru3(CO)12 and 2-pyridinemethanol is described. In this three-component coupling reaction, sodium formate serves as the carbon monoxide source.
