Enantioselective Synthesis of Chiral Carboxylic Acids from Alkynes and Formic Acid by Nickel-Catalyzed Cascade Reactions: Facile Synthesis of Profens

We report a stereoselective conversion of terminal alkynes to α-chiral carboxylic acids using a nickel-catalyzed domino hydrocarboxylation-transfer hydrogenation reaction. A simple nickel/BenzP* catalyst displayed high activity in both steps of regioselective hydrocarboxylation of alkynes and subsequent asymmetric transfer hydrogenation. The reaction was successfully applied in enantioselective preparation of three nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory profens (>90 % ees) and the chiral fragment of AZD2716.     

Synthesis and characterization of high molecular weight carboxylated polybutadiene

High molecular weight carboxylated polybutadienes (cPBDs) with number-average molecular weight (M_n) from 98,000 to 200,000 and carboxylic acid (COOH) contents of 0.5–10 mol % were successfully synthesized through hydrocarboxylation of polybutadienes (PBDs) at temperatures of 140–150°C using PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂ and SnCl₂ · 2H₂O catalysts. At low extents of hydrocarboxylation (COOH < 6 mol %), glass transition temperatures (T_g's) of the resulting cPBDs did not change considerably (<10°C). Significant chain scission and crosslinking was not detected during the chemical modification process. Characterization of the microstructures of cPBDs by FTIR, ¹³C-NMR, and Raman spectroscopy showed that the carboxylic groups were incorporated on the pendant (1,2) PBD double bonds as well as the backbone (1,4) double bonds, indicating the hydrocarboxylation reaction did not solely occur at the terminal carbons of the pendant double bonds. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

二氧化碳作为羧化试剂用于羧酸及其衍生物的合成(英文)

二氧化碳是储量丰富、廉价易得且可再生的C1资源,将其催化转化成高附加值精细化学品的研究已经引起了人们的广泛关注.目前,虽然二氧化碳用作初始原料的反应已经工业化的很少,但过去几十年中仍有二十多个具有实际应用前景的二氧化碳参与的新反应被发现,其中以二氧化碳作为羧化试剂合成各种羧酸及其衍生物的反应为突出代表.本文综述了过渡金属催化合成羧酸及其衍生物的二氧化碳与多种碳亲核试剂、碳氢键以及碳碳多重键化合物的反应,并总结了无过渡金属参与或有机小分子催化条件下将二氧化碳转化成羧酸及其衍生物的反应.     

Synthesis of β,γ‐Unsaturated Acids from Allenes and Carbon Dioxide

Hidden talent : Often perceived to be too thermodynamically and kinetically inert to be a useful chemical feedstock, carbon dioxide adds to allenes under exceptionally mild reductive conditions in the presence of a palladium pincer complex to give β,γ‐unsaturated carboxylic acids (see scheme). This transformation is discussed in the context of the requirements for CO₂ fixation. DMF=N,N‐dimethylformamide, Tf=trifluoromethanesulfonyl.

Computer-assisted generation of chemical reaction networks. Applications in mechanistic studies of organometallic catalysis

The Chem Net computer program designed for mechanistic studies of organic reactions occurring in solutions of metal complexes and on the surface of heterogeneous catalysts is proposed. The use of the program is illustrated by applications to catalyzed homogeneous hydrocarboxylation and hydroformylation of ethylene and heterogeneous hydrogenolysis of ethane.

CO~2(CO)~8/吡啶络合催化苯乙烯氢羧化反应的研究

在苯乙烯氢羧化反应(Hydrocarboxylation)中,Co_2(CO)_8的催化活性很低,吡啶的加入可显著提高催化活性,Co_2(CO)_8与吡啶的配比不同时,对反应活性、收率和正、异构产物的比例均有影响,而且与反应温度有关。此外,还观察了各种吡啶衍生物对氢羧化反应的影响。
