Nickel Nanoparticle-catalyzed Carboxylation of Unsaturated Hydrocarbon with CO2 Using Sulfur-modified Au-supported Nickel Material
A hydrocarboxylation reaction of alkyne or styrene derivatives with CO2 proceeded smoothly by using an air-stable nano-sized nickel catalyst supported on sulfur-modified gold (SANi), giving functionalized acrylic acids and phenylpropionic acids including an anti-inflammatory drug, Flurbiprofen. Notably, SANi could be recycled several times without a significant decrease of the yield.
