Catalyst composition for a production process of δ-lactone from carbon dioxide and 1,3-butadiene

Abstract

This present invention relates to a catalyst composition for a production process of δ-lactone from carbon dioxide and 1,3-butadiene that can efficiently catalyze the synthesis reaction of δ-lactone with good selectivity of δ-lactone, wherein said catalyst composition comprising: a) palladium metal complexes as shown in structure (I) [Formula should be inserted here] wherein, R1, R2, R3 and R4 independently represents a group selected from a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an amine group, or optionally an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, a phenyl group, a benzyl group, or a cyclic hydrocarbon group comprising a hetero atom; and b) phosphorus compound selected from a phosphine group having a general formula [Formula should be inserted here], wherein R5 is selected from an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, or an aryl group.
