Abstract

PSiP-pincer type palladium-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation enables an efficient one-to-one coupling reaction of atmospheric pressure carbon dioxide with 1,3-dienes. The reaction represents a highly useful method for the synthesis of β,γ-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives from CO2 and various 1,3-dienes including easily available chemical feedstock such as 1,3-butadiene and isoprene.
