Nickel‐Catalyzed Direct Carboxylation of Olefins with CO 2 : One‐Pot Synthesis of α,β‐Unsaturated Carboxylic Acid Salts

Description
Summary:The nickel‐catalyzed direct carboxylation of alkenes with the cheap and abundantly available C 1 building block carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in the presence of a base has been achieved. The one‐pot reaction allows for the direct and selective synthesis of a wide range of α,β‐unsaturated carboxylates (TON>100, TOF up to 6 h −1 , TON=turnover number, TOF=turnover frequency). Thus, it is possible, in one step, to synthesize sodium acrylate from ethylene, CO 2 , and a sodium salt. Acrylates are industrially important products, the synthesis of which has hitherto required multiple steps.
