Pitfalls in platinum catalysis: the predominant role of palladium traces in the alkoxycarbonylation of olefins and telomerization of 1,3-butadiene
Pierre Fablet, Yury Vasev, Ralf Jackstell, Matthias BellerPreviously reported high platinum activity in alkoxycarbonylation and telomerization reactions is driven by trace palladium impurities (ppm) in commercial sources, underscoring the critical need for ultrapure metal verification.
