Abstract

AbstractDirect carboxylation of acetylene with CO2 was carried out in the presence of 1,5,7‐triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec‐1‐ene (TBD); subsequent reduction of dicarboxylated acetylene produces commercially valuable succinate salts. This metal‐free carboxylation has potential economic and environmental impact by utilizing non‐petroleum feedstocks (acetylene) and CO2 and by producing valuable chemical feed stocks.
