Abstract: | The electrochemical dicarboxylation of arylacetylenes with carbon dioxide could be smoothly achieved in an undivided cell using Ni as the cathode and Al as the anode with n-Bu4NBr-DMF as the supporting electrolyte, at a constant current under CO2 pressure of 3 MPa and room temperature in the absence of additional catalysts. The corresponding aryl-maleic anhydrides and 2-arylsuccinic acids were afforded in excellent total yields (82-94%). Under anhydrous conditions, an unsaturated aryl-maleic anhydride as the main product was obtained, while the presence of H2O would lead to the formation of saturated 2-arylsuccinic acids. The results of cyclic voltammetric experiments show that a nickel cathode itself plays the catalytic role in the reduction reaction of arylacetylenes with CO2. |
