Abstract Hydrocarboxylation of styrene catalyzed by water-soluble Pd-TPPTS complexes was investigated. The reaction conditions, including reaction pressure, temperature, time and etc. have a significant influence on the catalytic performance. It was found that the yield of total acids and the selectivity towards 3-phenylpropionic acid were enhanced by adding a suitable amount of alkali metal halide salts. In addition, the reaction mechanism and the role of alkali metal halide salts in the reaction were discussed on the basis of the characterization of 1H NMR and 31P NMR.

is a very promising and environmentally friendly method for obtaining carboxylic acids [1]. Palladium-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation, i.e. olefins, CO and water catalyzed by palladium to produce acid has been quite extensively studied in the past several decades, especially in the synthesis of 2-phenylpropionic acids and its derivatives, which are applied as potential precursors in non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs such as naproxen and ibuprofen [2, 3], while the linear products of hydrocarboxylation of vinyl aromatics such as 3-phenylpropionic acid, have also been found application as special chemicals [4, 5] (Scheme 1). Aqueous/organic biphasic catalysis has received widespread attention due to the advantages of environmentally benign process and the readily efficient separation of the catalyst from the products [6, 7]. Water acts not only as one of the reactant, but as the solvent in hydrocarboxylation. Water-soluble phosphine ligands are always used to coordinate with noble metal catalyst in order to separate from organic products and to recover the noble metal catalyst. In this aspect, water-soluble phosphine ligands TPPTS (trisulfonated triphenylphosphine), TPPMS (monosulfonated tri
