DOI: 10.6023/cjoc202007013 Published: 09 September 2020 Abstract (1152) HTML (66) PDF (809KB)(1515) Knowledge map Carbon dioxide (CO 2), as a one-carbon synthon, has many advantages such as abundant, non-toxic, clean and so on. So the reactions using CO 2 as a one-carbon synthon have been widely concerned in organic chemistry. Transition-metal- catalyzed reaction of unsaturated hydrocarbons with CO 2 to produce carboxylic acid is one of the most commonly-used method to convert CO 2, and organometallic reagents can be added to the reaction as reducing agent. This kind of reaction can be realized by the strategy of tandem reaction. In the reaction, the unsaturated hydrocarbons react with transition-metal catalysts and organometallic reagents to generate new organometallic reagents in situ first, and then complete carboxylation with CO 2. Common organometallic reagents such as organozinc reagents, Grignard reagents, and organoaluminum reagents can all achieve this kind of carboxylation reaction. In this review, reactions are divided according to the type of unsaturated hydrocarbons, and each type can also be divided into hydrocarboxylation and carbocarboxylation. This review would introduce reaction according to this classification.

DOI: 10.6023/cjoc202004030 Published: 01 June 2020 Abstract (1621) PDF (711KB)(2538) Knowledge map Climate change and depletion of fossil fuels have drawn considerable attention. Considering carbon dioxide is both the dominant greenhouse gas and renewable C1 source, CO2 valorization into valuable chemicals is considered to reconcile the environment benefit and sustainable chemistry development. Unfortunately, the thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness of CO2 make its chemical transformation challenging. As a consequence, developing highly efficient catalytic systems and synthetic protocols is crucial for CO2 conversion. In recent years, He's group made great progress on strategy design and catalyst development for CO2 conversion. A series novel CO2 conversion strategies are proposed, including CO2 capture and in-situ transformation, hierarchical reductive functionalization of CO2, designing thermodynamically favorable reactions by multi-component cascade reaction and photo-promoted CO2 transformation. Concurrently, the corresponding highly efficient catalytic systems were also developed based on the reaction mechanism and thus CO2 transformation was successfully performed under mild conditions. It is hoped that this review can arouse broad concern on CO2 transformation and spur its further development.
