Cover Feature: Diarylformamides as a Safe Reservoir and Room Temperature Source of Ultra-Pure CO in the Context of a ‘Green’ rWGS Reaction (ChemSusChem 22/2024)

Abstract

The Cover Feature shows how the solvent-free catalytic decarbonylation of diarylformamides affords very pure CO and makes them ideal solid-state reservoirs/vectors of CO. The recovered diarylamines are readily formylated back to the formamides with formic acid/triethylamine azeotrope on 30–100 g scales. More information can be found in the Research Article by I.
