Direct conversion of raw materials to fine chemicals is greatly economically influential. We developed a non-expensive cobalt-catalyzed multicomponent carbonylative reaction for the synthesis of γ-aryl carboxylic acid esters from readily available methylarene, ethylene, and CO, which are widely found in multiple FDA-approved drugs.

The direct concurrent installation of amide and ester groups across olefin motifs represents a powerful and promising functionalization tool in organic chemistry. Herein, a ligand-free cobalt-catalyzed four-component radical relay carbonylative difunctionalization of ethylene for the synthesis of 4-oxobutanoates has been developed. Valuable C4 building blocks were produced in a highly atom-economical fashion.

Carbon dioxide (CO) is one of the most important materials as renewable chemical feedstock. In this review, the Co- and Rh-catalyzed transformation of CO via carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions is summarized. Combinations of metals (cobalt or rhodium), substrates, and reducing agents realize efficient carboxylation reactions using CO.

Cobalt-catalyzed carboxyzincation reactions employing carbon dioxide and zinc metal powder are developed. By using alkynes as substrates, regio- and stereodefined (Z)-β-zincated acrylates are provided. The corresponding alkenylzinc moiety can be converted to various substituents, affording multisubstituted acrylic acids.

Four in one: A straightforward synthesis of β(2,3)-amino esters is described through a new zinc-mediated, cobalt-catalyzed four-component reaction between organic bromides, alkyl acrylates, amines, and aldehydes (see scheme). Synthesis involves a Mannich-related conjugate addition/aza-aldol domino sequence, allowing the formation of three single bonds in one step. A reaction mechanism, emphasizing the crucial role of zinc salts, is described.
