Alkynes are carboxylated in a highly regio- and chemoselective manner in the presence of Ni(cod)2, DBU, and CO2 to give the carboxylated products in good yields. The reaction was carried
out under very mild conditions (CO2 1 atm, 0 °C) in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of
alkynes, conjugated enynes, or diynes. The high selectivity observed in the reaction would be
explained in terms of the stability and the reactivity of the intermediates.
The nickel-catalyzed [2 + 2] annulations of electron-deficient allenes proceed efficiently in a highly regioselective manner under very mild conditions to give the head-to-head cyclodimerization products, bismethylenecyclobutanes, as single isomers in good to fair yields. We also carried out the stoichiometric reaction of these allenes in the presence of Ni(0) complexes and elucidated the mechanism of this highly selective reaction.
