Hydrocarboxylation of alkynes with formic acid over multifunctional ligand modified Pd-catalyst with co-catalytic effect

Hydrocarboxylation of terminal alkynes with formic acid (FA) was accomplished over a multifunctional ligand (L2) modified Pd-catalyst, advantageous with 100% atom-economy, free use of CO and H2O, mild reaction conditions, and high yields (56–89%) of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with 100% regioselectivity to the branched ones. The multifunctional ligand of L2 as a zwitterion salt containing the phosphino-fragment (-PPh2), Lewis acidic phosphonium cation and sulfonate group (-SO3?), was constructed on the skeleton of 1.1′-binaphthyl-2.2′-diphenyl phosphine (BINAP) upon selective quaternization by 1,3-propanesultone. It was found that L2 conferred to the Pd-catalyst the co-catalytic effect, wherein the phosphino-coordinated Pd-complex was responsible for activation of all the substrates (including CO, FA and alkyne), and the incorporated phosphonium cation was responsible for synergetic activation of FA. The 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis supported that FA was truly activated by the incorporated Lewis acidic phosphonium cation in L2 via “acid-base pair” interaction. The in situ FT-IR spectra demonstrated that, the presence of Ac2O and NaOAc additives in the catalytic amount could dramatically promote the in situ release of CO from FA, which was required to initiate the hydrocarboxylation.

Rh-Catalyzed Coupling of Acrylic/Benzoic Acids with α-Diazocarbonyl Compounds: An Alternative Route for α-Pyrones and Isocoumarins

A coupling of acrylic acids/benzoic acids with α-diazocarbonyl compounds has been realized by a combined catalytic system of rhodium catalyst and Zn(OAc)2 additive. The presence of Zn(OAc)2 obviously accelerates the C(sp2)

The invention discloses a method for preparing an alpha, beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid compound, which comprises the following steps: 1) in an atmosphere containing carbon dioxide, heating and reacting a mixture containing hydrosilane and a copper catalyst to obtain a system I; and 2) adding a raw material containing alkyne and a nickel catalyst into the system I in the step 1), and heating to react. The method has the advantages of simple, easily available, cheap and stable raw materials, common, easily available and stable catalyst, mild reaction conditions, simple post-treatment, high yield and the like.

Water-initiated hydrocarboxylation of terminal alkynes with CO2and hydrosilane

This work discloses a Cu(ii)-Ni(ii) catalyzed tandem hydrocarboxylation of alkynes with polysilylformate formed from CO2and polymethylhydrosiloxane that affords α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with up to 93% yield. Mechanistic studies indicate that polysilylformate functions as a source of CO and polysilanol. Besides, a catalytic amount of water is found to be critical to the reaction, which hydrolyzes polysilylformate to formic acid that induces the formation of Ni-H active species, thereby initiating the catalytic cycle.

Palladium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydroesterification of α-Aryl Acrylic Acids to Chiral Substituted Succinates

A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydroesterification of α-aryl acrylic acids with CO and alcohol was developed, preparing a variety of chiral α-substituted succinates in moderate yields with high ee values. The kinetic profile of the reaction progress revealed that the alkene substrate first underwent the hydroesterification followed by esterification with alcohol. The origin of the enantioselectivity was elucidated by density functional theory computation.

Cobalt-Catalyzed Vinylic C-H Addition to Formaldehyde: Synthesis of Butenolides from Acrylic Acids and HCHO

A carboxyl-assisted C-H functionalization of acrylic acids with formaldehyde to give butenolides is described. It is the first time that the addition of an inert vinylic C-H bond to formaldehyde has been achieved via cobalt-catalyzed C-H activation. The unique reactivity of the cobalt species was observed when compared with related Rh or Ir catalysts. γ-Hydroxymethylated butenolides were produced by the treatment of Na2CO3 after the catalytic reaction in one pot.

Method for synthesizing alpha-acrylic acid compound by catalyzing carbon dioxide and alkyne with palladium

The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and discloses a method for synthesizing an alpha-acrylic acid compound by catalyzing carbon dioxide and alkyne with palladium. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding an alkyne compound, a palladium salt catalyst, alkali, a diphosphine ligand, a silane reducing agent and a solvent into a high-pressure reactionkettle, introducing carbon dioxide, stirring and reacting at 60-120 DEG C, washing a reaction liquid with water for extraction, and separating for purification to obtain the alpha-acrylic acid compound. By using the palladium salt as the catalyst and the diphosphine ligand as the ligand, the method has the characteristics of high yield, single selectivity, wide substrate applicability and the like. In addition, by taking the alkyne compound and carbon dioxide as raw materials in the reaction, the method has the advantages as follows: the raw materials are simple and easily available, the operation is simple and convenient and the atom economy is high.

Palladium-Catalyzed Highly Regioselective Hydrocarboxylation of Alkynes with Carbon Dioxide

A Pd-catalyzed highly regioselective hydrocarboxylation of alkynes with carbon dioxide has been established. By the combination of Pd(PPh3)4 and 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene (binap), a variety of functionalized alkynes, including aryl alkynes, aliphatic alkynes, propargylamines, and propargyl ethers, could be leveraged to provide a wide array of α-acrylic acids in high yields with high regioselectivity under mild reaction conditions. Experimental and DFT mechanistic studies revealed that this reaction proceeded via the cyclopalladation process of alkynes and carbon dioxide in the presence of binap to generate a five-membered palladalactone intermediate and enabled the formation of Markovnikov adducts. Moreover, this strategy provided an effective method for the late-stage functionalization of alkyne-containing complicated molecules, including natural products and pharmaceuticals.

3,3′-Disubstituted Oxindoles Formation via Copper-Catalyzed Arylboration and Arylsilylation of Alkenes

Arylboration and arylsilylation reactions of N-(2-iodoaryl)acrylamides with bis(pinacolato)-diboron (B2pin2) or PhMe2Si-Bpin are developed by using simple CuOAc as the sole catalyst. A range of boron-or silane-bearing 3,3′-disubstituted oxindoles are obtained in moderate to excellent yields. The reaction is proposed to proceed via a domino sequence involving intermolecular olefin borylcupration or silylcupration followed by intramolecular coupling of an alkyl-Cu intermediate with aryl iodide.

Palladium-catalyzed intermolecular C-H silylation initiated by aminopalladation

A Pd(ii)-catalyzed intermolecular C-H silylation reaction initiated by aminopalladation has been developed. The C-H bonds were activated by an alkyl Pd(ii) species generated through aminopalladation and then disilylated with hexamethyldisilane to form disilylated indolines as the final products. The reaction provides a new method for the introduction of silyl groups into complex organic molecules.
