Hydroxycarbonylation of alkenes using formic acid (HCOOH) is ideal for the synthesis of various carboxylic acids as a means to develop a sustainable reaction system with lower environmental impact. In this study, we developed a new catalytic system for hydroxycarbonylation of alkenes with HCOOH using a Vaska-type Rh complex with an iodide ligand, RhI(CO)(PPh3)2(1), as the catalyst, and a quaternary ammonium iodide salt as the promoter for the catalyst. In comparison with similar reaction systems using Rh catalysts, our reaction system is safer and more environmentally friendly since it does not require high-pressure conditions, explosive gases, or environmentally unfriendly CH3I and extra PPh3promoters. In addition, we also experimentally clarified that the catalytic reaction proceedsviaRhHI2(CO)(PPh3)2(2), which is formed by the reaction of1with a quaternary ammonium iodide salt andp-TsOH. Furthermore, the Rh(iii) complex2can catalyze hydroxycarbonylation of alkenes with HCOOH without any promoters.

A heterogeneous hydrocarboxylation process of olefins to obtain carboxylic acids with one more carbon was first realized using a single-Rh-site catalyst formed on porous organic polymer (Rh1/POPs). The in situ formation of hydrophilic porous ionic polymer from hydrophobic POPs with the help of CH3I led to high activity and superb stability.

The synthesis of carboxylic acids is of fundamental importance in the chemical industry and the corresponding products find numerous applications for polymers, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other manufactured chemicals. Although hydroxycarbonylations of olefins have been known for more than 60 years, currently known catalyst systems for this transformation do not fulfill industrial requirements, for example, stability. Presented herein for the first time is an aqueous-phase protocol that allows conversion of various olefins, including sterically hindered and demanding tetra-, tri-, and 1,1-disubstituted systems, as well as terminal alkenes, into the corresponding carboxylic acids in excellent yields. The outstanding stability of the catalyst system (26 recycling runs in 32 days without measurable loss of activity), is showcased in the preparation of an industrially relevant fatty acid. Key-to-success is the use of a built-in-base ligand under acidic aqueous conditions. This catalytic system is expected to provide a basis for new cost-competitive processes for the industrial production of carboxylic acids.
