The PPNCo(CO)4 and BF3·Et2O catalyzed carbonylation of simple and functionalized epoxides in DME gives the corresponding β-lactones regioselectively in good to high yields. The carbonylation occurred selectively at the uns

Difficulties in product separation and ineffective recycling of the homogenous catalyst deter the mass production of β-lactones via carbonylation of epoxides. Herein, we address these issues, for the first time, using a recyclable heterogenized catalyst [bpy-CTF-Al(OTf)2][Co(CO)4] that efficiently converts propylene oxide (PO) to β-butyrolactone with high selectivity.
Direct Heterogenization of Salphen Coordination Complexes to Porous Organic Polymers: Catalysts for Ring-Expansion Carbonylation of Epoxides

Salen and salphens are important ligands in coordination chemistry due to their ability to form various metal complexes that can be used for a variety of organic transformations. However, salen/salphen complexes are difficult to separate from the reaction mixture, thereby limiting their application to homogeneous systems. Accordingly, considerable effort has been spent to heterogenize the metallosalen/salphen complexes; however, this has resulted in compromised activities and selectivities. Direct heterogenization of metallosalens to form porous organic polymers (POPs) shows promise for heterogeneous catalysis, because it would allow easy separation while retaining catalytic function. Thus, a facile synthetic strategy for preparing metallosalen/salphen-based porous organic polymers through direct molecular knitting using a Friedel-Crafts reaction is presented herein for the first time. As representative candidates, salphenM(III)Cl (M = Al3+ and Cr3+) complexes are knitted by covalent cross-linking using this facile, scalable, one-pot method to synthesize highly POPs in high yields. When incorporated with [Co(CO)4]- anions, the resulting heterogeneous Lewis acidic metal (Al3+ and Cr3+) POPs exhibit propylene oxide ring-expansion carbonylation activity on par with those of their homogeneous counterparts.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a unique class of commercially manufactured biodegradable polyesters with properties suitable for partially substituting petroleum-based plastics. However, high costs and low volumes of production have restricted their application as commodity materials. In this study, tri-metallic complexes were developed for carbonylative polymerization via a dual catalysis strategy, and 17 products of novel PHAs with up to 38.2 kg mol?1 Mn values were discovered. The polymerization proceeds in a sequential fashion, which entails the carbonylative ring expansion of epoxide to β-lactone and its subsequent ring-opening polymerization that occurs selectively at the O-alkyl bond via carboxylate species. The wide availability and structural diversity of epoxide monomers provide PHAs with various structures, excellent functionalities, and tunable properties. This study represents a rare example of the preparation of PHAs using epoxides and carbon monoxide as raw materials.

Paragraph 0223-0227, (2019/01/15)
The present invention is directed to reactor systems and processes for producing acrylonitrile and acrylonitrile derivatives. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the processes comprise the following steps: introducing an epoxide reagent and carbon monoxide reagent to at least one reaction vessel through at least one feed stream inlet; contacting the epoxide reagent and carbon monoxide reagent with a carbonylation catalyst to produce a beta-lactone intermediate; polymerizing the beta-lactone intermediate with an initiator in the presence of a metal cation to produce a polylactone product; heating the polylactone product under thermolysis conditions to produce an organic acid product; optionally esterifying the organic acid product to produce one or more ester products; and reacting the organic acid product and/or ester product with an ammonia reagent under ammoxidation conditions to produce an acrylonitrile product.
