A photoinduced carboxylation of alkyl halides with CO2 at remote sp3 C?H sites enabled by the merger of photoredox and Ni catalysis is described. This protocol features a predictable reactivity and site selectivity that can be modulated by the ligand backbone. Preliminary studies reinforce a rationale based on a dynamic displacement of the catalyst throughout the alkyl side chain.

The mechanism of rhodium-COD-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of styrene derivatives and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with CO2 has been investigated using density functional theory (PBE-D2/IEFPCM). The calculations support a catalytic cycle as originally proposed by Mikami and co-workers including β-hydride elimination, insertion of the unsaturated substrate into a rhodium-hydride bond, and subsequent carboxylation with CO2. The CO2 insertion step is found to be rate limiting. The calculations reveal two interesting aspects. First, during C-CO2 bond formation, the CO2 molecule interacts with neither the rhodium complex nor the organozinc additive. This appears to be in contrast to other CO2 insertion reactions, where CO2-metal interactions have been predicted. Second, the substrates show an unusual coordination mode during CO2 insertion, with the nucleophilic carbon positioned up to 3.6 ? away from rhodium. In order to understand the experimentally observed substrate preferences, we have analyzed a set of five alkenes: an α,β-unsaturated ester, an α,β-unsaturated amide, styrene, and two styrene derivatives. The computational results and additional experiments reported here indicate that the lack of activity with amides is caused by an overly high barrier for CO2 insertion and is not due to catalyst inactivation. Our experimental studies also reveal two putative side reactions, involving oxidative cleavage or dimerization of the alkene substrate. In the presence of CO2, these alternative reaction pathways are suppressed. The overall insights may be relevant for the design of future hydrocarboxylation catalysts.

Pd(pyca)(PPh3)(OTs) [pyca = 2-picolinate] complex is efficiently anchored inside different mesoporous matrices, such as MCM-41, MCM-48, SBA-15 using a molecular aminopropyl tether moiety employing different synthesis strategies. Thorough characterization of the materials using powder XRD, multinuclear (13C, 29Si, 31P) CP-MAS NMR, XPS, SEM, N2-sorption studies etc. confirmed the successful anchoring of the palladium complex to the walls of the support matrices thus establishing the synthesis protocols unambiguously. The catalysts were found to be highly active and selective for the carbonylation of different aryl olefins and alcohols. Consecutive recycling and successful reuse proved the stability and true heterogeneous nature of all the anchored catalysts, which is a substantial advancement over the existing heterogeneous catalysts for carbonylation.
