Recent Developments on Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylation Reactions in Renewable Solvents

Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed carbonylation reaction has surfaced as a robust tool for insertion of the carbonyl group into organic molecules, and in the last decades enormous progress has been made. Nowadays, a plethora of methodologies is available to synthesize all kinds of carbonyl compounds. However, the focus has shifted during recent years to address rising concerns related to developing safe, cost-efficient, and more sustainable methodologies. The use of different carbon monoxide (CO) precursors/sources, avoiding handling of highly toxic and flammable gaseous carbon monoxide, and substituting nonrenewable solvents for those derived from renewable feedstock have contributed to aim these goals. In this review, we will discuss the advent of the application of renewable solvents to improve the sustainability and environmentally benign nature of Pd-catalyzed carbonylation reactions.

Effect of Isomerization and Copolymerization of Itaconic Anhydride During the Synthesis of Renewable Monomers Using Vegetable Oils

“…Therefore, renewable raw materials are an alternative for the syntheses of new monomers, polymers, solvents, and so on. [1][2][3][4] The 2-methylenesuccinic anhydride, which is also known as itaconic anhydride (ITA) is a derivative of itaconic acid and presents elevated reactivity. 5 The main production of itaconic acid is by the fermentation of carbohydrates.…”

A Facile synthesis of Biaryl ketones in recyclable system: Triazenes as new coupling partners in the carbonylative Suzuki and Hiyama cross‐coupling reactions using NFSac as CO source

“…Among various widely known carbonylative reactions, [3g,7a–d] particularly carbonylative Suzuki [8a–g] and carbonylative Hiyama couplings [9a–b] are of our interest. “Carbonylative coupling reactions” are the cross‐coupling reactions between two coupling partners that result in the formation of two new carbon‐carbon bonds in the presence of carbon monoxide (CO).…”

Recent Advances in Catalytic Carbonylation Reactions in Alternative Reaction Media

“…Previous results for carbonylation in non‐conventional media were overviewed by Xiao in 2007, [ 67 ] and excellent reviews were published for Pd‐based systems involving renewable solvents by Gabriele, [ 33 ] Bayer, [ 68 ] and Schwab. [ 69 ] However, a general review focusing on using non‐ conventional solvents for transition‐metal catalyzed carbonylation reactions has not been published for the last five years.…”
