Alkadienyl esters and ethers are prepared by telomerization of dienes conjugated with polyols, fatty alcohols, ethoxylated fatty alcohols and phenols, substituted phenols, monosaccharides and disaccharides, alkyl glycosides, alkynoic acids and hydroxy substituted carboxylic acids. Processes for the telomerization of dienes with monools and polyols using low concentrations of palladium catalysts are carried out in the presence of a solvent based on secondary and tertiary alcohols. |
