Abstract

Carbon dioxide is a significant greenhouse gas and reducing carbon emissions to mitigate global warming poses a major challenge. The efficient utilization of carbon dioxide as a carbon resource requires the development of effective and straightforward synthetic strategies for C–C bond transformations. Recent studies have focused on transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions of carbon dioxide with soft nucleophiles such as alkynes, conjugated dienes, and various unsaturated hydrocarbons, demonstrating the formation of unsaturated carboxylic acids. This article describes carbon dioxide fixation reactions with unsaturated hydrocarbons promoted by Ni and Cu catalysts that we have recently developed. Notably, these reactions feature highly regio- and stereoselective C–C bond formation facilitated by key intermediates involving organometalloids.

Key words

nickel - copper - carbon dioxide - organozinc - organoaluminum - organoboranes - dienes - alkynes

30 Acetone is generated from a mixture of CO₂ and trimethylaluminum. The ketone formed in situ would be subsequently consumed by Ni-catalyzed oxidative cyclization with alkenes promoted by trimethylaluminum. It has also been reported that trialkylaluminum coupled with CO₂ to afford trialkylcarbinols, see: Yur’ev VP, Kuchin AV, Tolstikov GA. Russ. Chem. Bull. 1974; 23: 817
