In a process for preparing an alkalimetalor alkaline earth metal salt of an α,β-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, a)a transition metal-alkene complex is reacted with CO2 to give a metallalactone, b)the metallalactone is reacted with a base to give an adduct of the alkalimetal or alkaline earth metal salt of the α,β-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid with the transition metal complex, and c)the adduct is reacted with an alkene to release the alkalimetalor alkaline earth metalsalt of the α,β-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and regenerate the transition metal-alkene complex. The baseis selected from alkalimetal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides and alkali metal or alkaline earth metal superbases.The alkene is, for example, ethene. The transition metal complex comprises, for example, nickel and a bidentate P,P, P,N, P,O or P,carbene ligand, such as 1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ethane.

Methyl iodide induces the stoichiometric cleavage of nickelalactones, which are key intermediates in the nickel-mediated reaction of CO2 and alkenes to acrylates. Herein, we propose a modified and extended mechanism for this reaction on the basis of theoretical and experimental investigations for the bidentate P ligand 1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ethane (dtbpe). The calculated elementary steps agree well with experimental findings: reaction barriers are reasonable and explain the facile liberation of acrylate from a nickelalactone by methyl iodide. We were able to isolate reactive intermediates and to verify the existence of proposed reaction pathways. Additionally, we have identified unproductive pathways leading to byproducts (e.g., propionates and catalytically inactive organometallic species). Although those side reactions can be suppressed to a certain extent, the strong binding of acrylate to nickel prevents a catalytic reaction, at least for the chosen ligand.
