Insight into decomposition of formic acid to syngas required for Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of olefins

Coordination assembly enables highly selective catalytic hydroaminomethylation of olefins

“…S65 †) was observed in the 1 H NMR spectra of the mixture, implying NHC-Rh-H was the active species, which was also consistent with previous studies. [61][62][63] Because the solid 6b was recovered after filtration and washing with water, methanol and diethyl ether subsequently, no Rh-H could be monitored after the recycling tests.…”

Matching emerging formic acid synthesis processes with application requirements

“…For example, (hydroxy)carbonylation of olefins with formic acid produces carboxylic acids, 25,26 hydroxycarboxylation of alkynes produces acrylic derivatives, 27 and hydroformylation of olefins produces aldehydes. 28 Formic acid as feed for bioprocesses Formic acid and formate are carbon sources in C1 biorefinery processes. The molecules are digested by both natural and genetically engineered micro-organisms called formatotrophs Fig.…”

Palladium-catalyzed generation of CO from formic acid for alkoxycarbonylation of internal alkenes involves a PTSA-assisted NH–Pd mechanism: a DFT mechanistic study

“…[9][10][11] Among them, formic acid is probably the most convenient CO substitute, and is mainly derived from CO 2 hydrogenation and biomass processing. 12,13 Transition metals such as ruthenium (Ru), 14 rhodium (Rh), 15 palladium (Pd) 16 and iridium (Ir) 17 have been widely applied in homogeneous catalytic carbonylation reactions. In particular, palladium-catalyzed carbonylation is generally regarded as the state-of-the-art owing to its high efficiency and universality for a wide range of alkenes and alkynes.…”
