Titanium-mediated carboxylation of alkynes with carbon dioxide

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The regioselective carboxylation of nonactivated internal alkynes can be performed with carbon dioxide under atmospheric pressure using a simple procedure based on the chemistry of Sato-type diisopropyloxytitanacyclopropenes. Various polysubstituted vinylcarboxylic acids and butenolides can be prepared in this way. In addition, this paper describes an experimental protocol for the preparation of solutions of (η2-cyclopentene)diisopropyloxytitanium. This complex also reacts with carbon dioxide, and mediates pinacol coupling of acetophenone.
