Published: May 2022

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.

Dalian National Laboratory for Clean Energy, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 116023 Dalian, Liaoning, China.

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.
