Dedicated to Professor Rinaldo Poli on the occasion of his 65th birthday.We describe the use of CO 2 as a promising C1 source instead of CO in the tandem Pauson-Khand reaction. The reaction is achieved by combining the reduction of CO 2 to CO using a metal organic framework (MOF) catalyst with homogeneous rhodium catalysts for the cycloaddition step. A range of substrates were converted in moderate to good yields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
