The direct, transition metal-catalyzed carboxylation of organohalides with carbon dioxide {is a|is really a|is actually a|can be a|is often a|is usually a} {highly|extremely|very|hugely} desirable transformation in organic synthesis {as it|because it|since it} utilizes feedstock {chemicals|chemical substances|chemical compounds} and delivers carboxylic acids –among {the most|probably the most|essentially the most|one of the most|by far the most} utilized class of organic molecules. Phenyl acetic acids, in {particular|specific|certain|distinct|unique}, are privileged motifs that {appear|seem} in {many|numerous|several|a lot of|quite a few|lots of} pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds. {This article|This short article} reports the {development|improvement} of a sustainable and selective cobalt-catalyzed electrochemical carboxylation of benzyl halides with CO2 to {generate|produce|create} phenyl acetic acids. The {success|achievement|good results|accomplishment|results} of this transformation is enabled by the {development|improvement} of low-coordinate cobalt/pyrox complexes as electrocatalysts to convert {various|numerous|different|a variety of|several|many} benzyl chlorides and bromides to their corre-sponding phenyl/heteroaryl acetic acids with {high|higher} selectivity {over|more than} undesired homocoupling {of the|from the|in the|on the|with the|of your} benzyl halides. The combina-tion of electroanalytical {methods|techniques|strategies|approaches|procedures|solutions}, simulation {studies|research}, {control|manage|handle} reactions, and first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations informed the mechanistic {analysis|evaluation} of this reaction. An EC’C-type activation mechanism of benzyl halides, {which is|that is|which can be} {unique|distinctive|special|exclusive|exceptional|one of a kind} to Co(II)/pyrox electrocatalysts, {provides|offers|gives|supplies|delivers} the rationalization {of the|from the|in the|on the|with the|of your} exceptional observed selectivity for carboxylation. {Specifically|Particularly|Especially}, the Co(II)/pyrox catalyst undergoes reduction to Co(I) followed by halogen abstraction {and a|along with a|as well as a|plus a|and also a|in addition to a} favorable radical rebound to Co(II)/pyrox to {form|type|kind} alkyl–Co(III) intermediates. {Although|Even though|Though|Despite the fact that|While} voltammetry only shows a single electron transfer step, bulk electrolysis shows a two electron {process|procedure|method|approach|course of action} and {using|utilizing|making use of|employing|working with|applying} DFT calculations, the intermediates are proposed to undergo two-electron reduction to alkyl–Co(I) followed by a ZnCl2-assisted CO2 insertion to {form|type|kind} the carboxylated adducts with regenera-tion of Co(I)/pyrox. 4,6-Dichloropyridine-2,3-diamine manufacturer 1530793-63-5 Order PMID:24189672
