Usage

General Description

Lithium acrylate is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C3H3LiO2. It is a salt of lithium and acrylic acid and is mainly used as a cross-linking agent in the production of polymers and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Lithium acrylate is a white powder that is soluble in water and other polar solvents, and its main applications include being used as a co-monomer in the production of various copolymers and as a stabilizer in the manufacture of synthetic rubbers. It is also used in the production of adhesives, coatings, and sealants for industrial and commercial purposes. Additionally, lithium acrylate has potential uses in the medical and pharmaceutical industries for drug delivery and controlled release systems due to its ability to form hydrogels. However, it should be handled and stored carefully due to its flammability and reactivity with water and air.

A family of cis-macrocyclic diphosphines: modular, stereoselective synthesis and application in catalytic CO2/ethylene coupling

A family of cis-macrocyclic diphosphines was prepared in just three steps from white phosphorus and commercial materials using a modular synthetic approach. Alkylation of bicyclic diphosphane 3,4,8,9-tetramethyl-1,6-diphosphabicyclo(4.4.0)deca-3,8-diene, or P2(dmb)2, produced phosphino-phosphonium salts [R-P2(dmb)2]X, where R is methyl, benzyl and isobutyl, in yields of 90-96%. Treatment of these salts with organolithium or Grignard reagents yielded symmetric and unsymmetric macrocyclic diphosphines of the form cis-1-R-6-R′-3,4,8,9-tetramethyl-2,5,7,10-tetrahydro-1,6-DiPhospheCine, or R,R′-DPC, in which R′ is methyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl or mesityl, in yields of 46-94%. Alternatively, symmetric diphosphine Cy2-DPC was synthesized in 74% yield from the dichlorodiphosphine Cl2P2(dmb)2. As a first application, these cis-macrocyclic diphosphines were used as ligands in the nickel-catalyzed synthesis of acrylate from CO2 and ethylene, for which they showed promising catalytic activity.

Catalytic formation of acrylate from carbon dioxide and ethene

With regard to sustainability, carbon dioxide (CO2) is an attractive C1 building block. However, due to thermodynamic restrictions, reactions incorporating CO2 are relatively limited so far. One of the so-called "dream reactions" in this field is the catalytic oxidative coupling of CO2 and ethene and subsequent β-H elimination to form acrylic acid. This reaction has been studied intensely for decades. However up to this date no suitable catalytic process has been established. Here we show that the catalytic conversion of ethene and CO2 to acrylate is possible in the presence of a homogeneous nickel catalyst in combination with a "hard" Lewis acid. For the first time, catalytic conversion of CO2 and ethene to acrylate with turnover numbers (TON) of up to 21 was demonstrated.

METHODS OF PRODUCING ALPHA, BETA-UNSATURATED CARBOXYLIC ACID SALTS FROM ALKANES AND CARBON DIOXIDE

Methods of producing α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid salt are described. A method can include reacting an alkene and carbon dioxide with a composition that includes a carboxylation catalyst, an organic base that is solubilized in the composition, and an inorganic base that is not solubilized in the composition, under reaction conditions suitable to produce an inorganic base salt of an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid. The organic base can have a first pKa and the inorganic base has a second pKa that is greater than the first pKa.
