Koch reaction

Koch reaction

The Koch reaction is an organic reaction for the organic synthesis of certain tertiary carboxylic acids from an alkene, carbon monoxide and water [Arpe, .J.: "Industrielle organische Chemie: Bedeutende vor- und Zwischenprodukte", 2007, Wiley-VCH-Verlag, ISBN 3527315403 ] .

This process is used on an industrial scale with annual production of 150.000 tons.

When the substrate (a substituted alkene) is isobutene the applied pressure is between 5*105 and 107 Pa and the temperature between 0 °C and 50 °C. The acidic catalyst is a mixture of phosphoric acid and boron trifluoride. This reaction is a hydroformylation followed by hydrolysis.

Some industrially produced carboxylic acids are 2,2-dimethylpropionic acid (pivalic acid), 2,2-dimethylbutyric acid and 2,2-dimethylpentanoic acid.
