The transition-metal-catalyzed direct carboxylation of an unactivated C-H bond is rarely reported, and no example of catalysis using abundant and cheap nickel has been reported. In this work, the first Ni-catalyzed direct carboxylation of an unactivated C-H bond under an atmospheric pressure of CO is reported. This method affords moderate to high carboxylation yields of various methyl carboxylates under mild conditions. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that a Ni(0)-Ni(II)-Ni(I) catalytic cycle may be involved in this reaction.
未活化C-H键的过渡金属催化直接羧基化反应鲜有报道,且尚无使用丰富且廉价镍进行催化的实例。在本工作中,报道了首例在CO常压下镍催化未活化C-H键的直接羧基化反应。该方法在温和条件下可实现各种甲基羧酸盐的中等至高产率羧基化。初步机理研究表明,该反应可能涉及Ni(0)-Ni(II)-Ni(I)催化循环。
