Enhanced Activity and Recyclability of Palladium Complexes in the Catalytic Synthesis of Sodium Acrylate from Carbon Dioxide and Ethylene

The Pd-catalysed synthesis of sodium acrylate from ethylene and CO2 in the presence of alcoholate bases has been improved significantly. We used amide solvents such as N-cyclohexylpyrrolidone or N,N-dibutylformamide to achieve turnover numbers

Decarboxylative Alkylcarboxylation of α,β-Unsaturated Acids Enabled by Copper-Catalyzed Oxidative Coupling

A facile and general method for copper-catalyzed decarboxylative alkylcarboxylation of cinnamic acids with dimethyl 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropionate) has been developed. The scope and versatility of the reaction was demonstrated, and a broad range of substrates bearing electron-donating and -withdrawing groups on the aromatic rings were all compatible with this reaction to provide desired β,γ-unsaturated esters in moderate to good yields. Moreover, α,β-unsaturated acids with a carbonyl group on the γ-position of acrylic acids also smoothly proceeded to furnish the desired products in good yields.
