Talk:Wacker process

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

May I suggest a few possible references. The initial stoichiometric reaction was first reported by Phillips:

• F.C. Phillips, Am. Chem. J., 1894, 16, 255-277.
• F.C. Phillips, Z. Anorg. Chem., 1894, 6, 213-228.

The Wacker reaction was first reported by Smidt et al.:

• J. Smidt, W. Hafner, R. Jira, J. Sedlmeier, R. Sieber, R. Rüttinger, and H. Kojer, Angew. Chem., 1959, 71, 176-182.
• W. Hafner, R. Jira, J. Sedlmeier, and J. Smidt, Chem. Ber., 1962, 95, 1575-1581.
• J. Smidt, W. Hafner, R. Jira, R. Sieber, J. Sedlmeier, and A. Sabel, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl., 1962, 1, 80-88.

(Only the last article is in English). Hope this is useful. Joseph Wright
