Abstract
An organocatalytic strategy for the direct carboxylation of terminal alkynes with CO2 has been developed. The combined use of a bifunctional organocatalyst and Cs2CO3 resulted in a robust catalytic system for the preparation of a range of propiolic acid derivatives in high yields with broad substrate scope using CO2 at atmospheric pressure under mild temperatures (60 °C). This work has demonstrated that this organocatalytic method offers a competitive alternative to metal catalysis for the carboxylation of terminal alkynes and CO2. In addition, this protocol was suitable for the three-component carboxylation of terminal alkynes, alkyl halides, and CO2.
