Theory-driven synthetic approaches represent highly efficient strategies for developing new organic transformations. We herein disclose a new carboxylation method of a stable five-membered palladacycle(II) with CO2. Initially, we computationally investigated potential carboxylation pathways to reveal that the reduction of Pd(II) to Pd(I) is crucial to promote the insertion of CO2. Based on the computational results
理论驱动的合成方法代表了开发新有机转化的高效策略。我们在此公开了稳定的五元
钯环(II)与CO 2的新羧化方法。最初,我们通过计算研究了潜在的羧化途径,以揭示 Pd(II) 还原为 Pd(I) 对促进 CO 2的插入至关重要。根据计算结果,我们通过使用单电子还原剂(如 Cp* 2 Co)、光氧化还原催化剂和电解进行实验,以高达 90% 的产率获得目标产物。
