Insertion of CO2 Mediated by a (Xantphos)NiI–Alkyl Species

Abstract: The incorporation of CO2 into organometallic and organic molecules represents a sustainable way to prepare carboxylates. The mechanism of reductive carboxylation of alkyl halides has been proposed to proceed through the reduction of NiII to NiI by either Zn or Mn, followed by CO2 insertion into NiI‐alkyl species. No experimental evidence has been previously established to support the two proposed steps. Demonstrated herein is that the direct reduction of (tBu‐Xantphos)NiIIBr2 by Zn affords NiI species. (tBu‐Xa… Show more

“…Our hypothesis is that it coordinates ZnI 2 salts that are generated as part of the initial Ni II reduction. [21][22][23] This hypothesis is consistent with the observation that addition of exogenous ZnI 2 inhibits the reaction, but that reactivity can be restored by addition of DMAP. [20] Although 2a could be obtained in good yield with 5mol %N i (entry 10), incomplete conversions were obtained for many substrates when the scope of the iodination was investigated.…”

“…Theh alide exchange was found to be compatible with av ariety of common functional groups, including amines (4), carbamates (5,13), pyridines (20), alkenes (12), dienes (10,14), esters (19), ketals (6, 14), and enones (11). Chemoselective halogenation of alkenyl triflates was observed in preference to aryl triflates (15, 20), aryl chlorides (9, 21), and aryl boronates (22). However,competitive halide exchange was observed in the presence of aryl bromides and iodides.…”

“…The precise role of DMAP in the iodination remains unclear; our hypothesis is that it coordinates ZnI2 salts that are generated as part of the initial Ni(II) reduction. 21,22,23 This is consistent with the observation that addition of exogenous ZnI2 inhibits the reaction, but that reactivity can be restored by addition of DMAP. 20 Although 2a could be obtained in good yield with 5 mol % Ni (Table 1, entry 10), incomplete conversions were obtained for many substrates when the scope of the iodination was investigated.…”

“…The halide exchange was found to be compatible with a variety of common functional groups, including amines (4), carbamates (5, 13), pyridines (20), alkenes (12), dienes (10,14), esters (19), ketals (6, 14), and enones (11).
