EXAMPLE 2100 ppm of Pd, 1,3-butadiene stabilized with 4-tert-butylcatecholUnder protective gas, 0.112 g of palladium acetate (47.5% Pd, from Acros), 0.312 g of 1,3-bis(2,4,6-tri-methylphenyl)imidazolium o-cresoxide-o-cresol and 0.108 g of sodium methoxide (>97%, from Merck) are dissolved in 200 g of freshly distilled N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP, 99.5%, from Merck) and stirred at 50° C. for 1 hour. This mixture is sucked into an evacuated 2 l autoclave from Büchi and then 240 g of 1,3-butadiene (1,3-butadiene 2.6, stabilized with approx. 100 ppm of 4-tert-butylcatechol (TBC), from Oxeno Olefinchemie GmbH) are condensed in at -5° C. The amount is measured by means of the weighing of the pressurized gas bottle. Thereafter, a pressure of 11 bar is applied by means of argon and the reactor is heated to 75° C. Within 30 minutes, 101 g of formic acid (98-100%, from Riedel-de Haen) are metered in. The pressure is kept constant at 20 bar by means of a valve. An amount of offgas of 31.7 l is measured. The continued reaction time is 15 min. After the cooling and decompression of the autoclave, the product mixture is analysed by GC. After a one-stage distillation at 50 mbar and a maximum bottom temperature of 80° C., a further analysis is effected by means of GC. Table 1 shows the particular analysis results in GC area %.

The purity based on 1,7-octadiene is 97.4%. The conversion of the formic acid is complete.
