Abstract
Esters are fundamental compounds in materials science, medicinal chemistry, and organic synthesis. Numerous synthetic methods have been developed to construct ester functional groups. The transition metal-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl halides with alcohols is well-established, with palladium catalysts being the most commonly used. However, the development of non-noble metal-based catalysts for carbonylation reactions has become attractive due to their cost-effectiveness. In this study, we report a novel homogeneous cobalt-catalyzed system for the carbonylation of aryl bromides and aryl chlorides with alkyl halides directly. Notably, this methodology efficiently prepares specialized esters using inexpensive alkyl halides, offering a more economical alternative to using the corresponding alcohols.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
