Page/Page column 36, (2017/09/02)
The present application relates to a metal complex of Formula (I) and a catalyst composition for the carbonylation of alkenes comprising the metal complex, wherein the metal is a group 10 element such as palladium, platinum or nickel, and the complex comprises a bidentate phosphine ligand. The present invention also relates to a process for the preparation of a dicarboxylic acid or ester thereof from an alkenoic acid or ester thereof, or a process for the preparation of a carboxylic acid or ester thereof from an alkene or alkenoic acid with high selectivity and activity using said metal complex or catalyst composition. The present application also relates to a method of preparing Nylon 6-6 comprising the step of copolymerising adipic acid with hexamethylenediamine.
