Abstract
A highly efficient dehydrogenative carbonylative esterification of allenoic acids using Pd-catalysis was developed, providing a novel approach to synthesizing esterified γ-butyrolactone derivatives with consistently good to excellent results demonstrated across over 50 examples. Additionally, we used a heterogeneous catalyst known as Pd-AmP-MCF and harnessed biomimetic-aerobic-oxidation conditions to facilitate the practical execution of this reaction. Furthermore, our detailed study of γ-butyrolactone products highlighted their potential in synthesizing bioactive compounds.

Nat Commun 2024; 15:2016.

Abstract
The development of stable and efficient ligands is of vital significance to enhance the catalytic performance of carbonylation reactions of alkenes. Herein, an aryldiphosphine ligand (L11) bearing the [Ph2P(ortho-C6H4)]2CH2 skeleton is reported for palladium-catalyzed regioselective carbonylation of alkenes. Compared with the industrially successful Pd/1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)benzene catalyst, catalytic efficiency catalyzed by Pd/L11 on methoxycarbonylation of ethylene is obtained, exhibiting better catalytic performance (TON: >2,390,000; TOF: 100,000 h-1; selectivity: >99%) and stronger oxygen-resistance stability. Moreover, a substrate compatibility (122 examples) including chiral and bioactive alkenes or alcohols is achieved with up to 99% yield and 99% regioselectivity. Experimental and computational investigations show that the appropriate bite angle of aryldiphosphine ligand and the favorable interaction of 1,4-dioxane with Pd/L11 synergistically contribute to high activity and selectivity while the electron deficient phosphines originated from electron delocalization endow L11 with excellent oxygen-resistance stability.

Abstract
Palladium-catalysed alkoxycarbonylation of alkenes allows for atom-efficient synthesis of esters from easily available alkenes in an industrially viable manner. One of the major costs associated with this process is the consumption of the catalyst system. Hence, for economic and ecologic reasons it is desirable to minimize the amount of metal and ligands wherever possible. Herein, we report "a homeopathic" palladium-catalysed alkoxycarbonylation of olefins under comparably mild conditions. The key to success is the homemade ligand LIKATphos providing good to excellent yields of ester products with catalyst turnover numbers in the range of 106.

Abstract
As an important and attractive C1 building block, the diversified exploitation of CO2 in chemical transformations possesses significant research and application value. Herein, an effective palladium-catalyzed intermolecular hydroesterification of a wide range of alkenes with CO2 and PMHS is described, successfully generating diverse esters with up to 98% yield and up to 100% linear-selectivity. In addition, the palladium-catalyzed intramolecular hydroesterification of alkenylphenols with CO2 and PMHS is also developed to construct a variety of 3-substituted-benzofuran-2(3H)-ones with up to 89% yield under mild conditions. In both systems, CO2 functions as an ideal CO source with the assistance of PMHS, thus smoothly participating in a series of alkoxycarbonylation processes.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to study the palladium/Brønsted acid-catalyzed methoxycarbonylation and hydromethoxylation reactions of internal alkene. The calculated results show that the pyridyl group (N atom) in bidentate phosphine ligand with built-in base (L1) plays a crucial role in controlling the selectivity. With the help of the pyridyl group, the methanolysis steps in the methoxycarbonylation reaction and the hydromethoxylation reaction become easy, and both the linear ester methyl 3,4-dimethylpentanoate (P1) and the hydromethoxylation product 2-methoxy-2,3-dimethylbutane (P2) could be obtained. In contrast, the possibility of leading to branched ester P1' was ruled out according to our calculations. The steric effect could account for the observed selectivity. In the presence of the DPEphos ligand (L2) that does not bear the pyridyl group, the methanolysis step in the methoxycarbonylation reaction becomes the rate-determining step with a high overall energy barrier. Neither linear nor branched methoxycarbonylation product could be generated. The palladium/Brønsted acid co-catalyzed hydromethoxylation also become difficult without the assistance of the pyridyl group in the presence of the L2 ligand. Instead, TsOH-catalyzed hydromethoxylation reaction could take place to generate the ether product P2.

Abstract
A convenient and practical method for the synthesis of bioactive ester-containing chroman-4-ones through the cascade radical cyclization of 2-(allyloxy)arylaldehydes and oxalates is described. The preliminary studies suggest that an alkoxycarbonyl radical might be involved in the current transformation, which was generated via the decarboxylation of oxalates in the presence of (NH4)2S2O8.

Abstract
Diesters are of fundamental importance in the chemical industry and are used for many applications, e.g. as plasticizers, surfactants, emulsifiers, and lubricants. Herein, we present a straightforward and efficient method for the selective synthesis of diesters via palladium-catalyzed direct carbonylation of di- or polyols with readily available alkenes. Key-to-success is the use of a specific palladium catalyst with the "built-in-base" ligand L16 providing esterification of all alcohols and a high n/iso ratio. The synthesized diesters were evaluated as potential plasticizers in PVC films by measuring the glass transition temperature (Tg ) via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Abstract
In this paper, a novel catalyst is introduced based on the immobilization of palladium onto magnetic Fucus Vesiculosus extract (Pd@mFuVe catalyst). For the synthesis of Pd@mFuVe catalyst, Fucus Vesiculosus extract is obtained from the plant source, followed by the synthesis of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) onto the extract. The catalyst is characterized by several methods, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), FT-IR spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), powder X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The activity of Pd@mFuVe catalyst is studied in the synthesis of N-alkyl-2-(4-methyl-1-oxoisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)-2-phenylacetamides. The products were synthesized in three steps, the synthesis of 2-iodobenzoic acid from 2-aminobenzoic acid, which participated in a multicomponent reaction with allylamine, aldehydes, and isocyanides, followed by a cyclization reaction, catalyzed by Pd@mFuVe catalyst. The product yields are high and the catalyst showed good reusability after 5 sequential runs. The most significant, Pd@mFuVe catalyst is fabricated from a plant extract source as a green support for the catalyst.

Abstract
DFT calculations have been performed to find the mechanism of the alkyloxycarbonylation of an internal alkene with HCOOH catalyzed by a palladium complex with P,N hemilabile ligands. Four different cycles have been explored in detail, and a plausible catalytic cycle involves the decomposition of HCOOH/HCOOMe to CO, internal alkene isomerization, terminal alkene insertion, CO migratory insertion and methanolysis. It is shown that decomposition and isomerization processes involve a cooperative P,N hemilabile ligand and Pd(0) (NH-Pd) rather than the Pd(II) hydride (Pd-H) mechanism. Intriguingly, the simultaneous presence of PTSA acts as a hydrogen shuttle (H-shuttle), assisting CO generation and methanolysis. With such a mechanism, the rate-determining transition state corresponds to internal alkene isomerization, which is consistent with the experimental observation that isomerization was the slow step in this process. The back-bonding between palladium and olefin and rapid hydrogen transfer in the presence of a PTSA H-shuttle are responsible for the moderate barriers. In addition, a careful study of the solvent effect indicates that polar solvents, which are capable of hydrogen bonding, can promote the catalytic reactions. Mechanistic insights gained by this theoretical study have not only rationalized the experimental observations well but also have implications for new reaction development.

Abstract
A phenanthroline-based porous organic polymer-supported heterogeneous Pd catalyst (Pd@Phen-POP) is facilely synthesized by the solvent knitting of a Phen scaffold via the Lewis-acid-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction using dichloromethane as a source for linker in the presence of AlCl3. The catalyst very effectively catalyzes the alkoxycarbonylation of various substituted aryl iodides with various alcohols to give corresponding products in good to excellent yields. Owing to the heterotic nature of the catalyst, it can be easily separated by simple filtration from the reaction mixture and recycled.

Abstract
The one-pot alkoxycarbonylation of halo-free alkylaryl and furanyl alcohols represents a sustainable alternative for the synthesis of alkylaryl and furanyl acetates. In this paper, the reaction between benzyl alcohol, chosen as a model substrate, CH3OH and CO was tested in the presence of a homogeneous palladium catalyst, an activator (isopropenyl acetate (IPAc) or dimethyl carbonate (DMC)) and a base (Cs2CO3). The influence of various reaction parameters such as the CO pressure, ligand and palladium precursor employed, mmol% catalyst load, temperature and time were investigated. The results demonstrate that decreasing the CO pressure from 50 bar to 5 bar at 130 °C for 18 h increases yields in benzyl acetate from 36% to over 98%. Further experiments were performed in the presence of piperonyl and furfuryl alcohol, interesting substrates employed for the synthesis of various fine chemicals. Moreover, furfuryl alcohol is a lignocellulosic-derived building block employed for the synthesis of functionalized furans such as 2-alkylfurfuryl acetates. Both the alcohols were successfully transformed in the corresponding acetate (yields above 96%) in rather mild reaction conditions (5–0.01 mol% catalyst, 5–2 bar CO pressure, 130 °C, 4–18h), demonstrating that the alkoxycarbonylation of alcohols represents a promising sustainable alternative to more impactful industrial practices adopted to date for the synthesis of alkylaryl and furfuryl acetates.

Abstract
The use of CO2 as a CO surrogate for the carbonylation of olefin has attracted considerable attention due to its abundance, readily availability, nontoxicity, and recyclability. In this work, we describe the synthesis of methyl propionate (MPA), a key intermediate for methyl methacrylate in the commercial Lucite Alpha process, by the ruthenium-catalyzed methoxycarbonylation of ethylene with CO2 as a carbonyl source. An efficient approach to producing MPA has been developed by adding metal halide promoters and dehydrating agents. Control experiments suggest that the NHC-Ru-hydride may be the real active species formed in situ by the reaction of Ru3(CO)12 with ionic liquid (IL). NMR data demonstrate that inorganic salts favor the formation of active species, which is an important issue for their promotion effect. In terms of the strategy to overcome chemical equilibrium by the addition of dehydrating agents and IL participation in the formation of NHC-Ru-hydride active species, a tasked IL containing a siloxyl group was employed to Ru-catalyze the methoxycarbonylation of ethylene, which showed higher catalytic efficiency in comparison to IL without a siloxyl group.

Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed linear-selective hydroesterification of vinyl arenes with alcohols enabled by diphosphine ligands derived from bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)ethyl]amides has been developed. A variety of 3-arylpropanoate esters were obtained in high yields and regioselectivity. The robustness of this methodology was further demonstrated by the efficient gram-scale synthesis of the ethyl 3-phenylpropanoate as a precursor to hydrocinnamic acid.

Abstract
We report the room-temperature Pd-catalyzed methoxy-carbonylation with high branched selectivity using a new class of bisphosphine-picolinamide ligands. Systematic optimization of ligand structures and reaction conditions revealed the significance of both the picolinamide and bisphosphine groups in the ligand backbone. This strategic design of ligand was leveraged to deliver various α-substituted acrylates in good to excellent yields.

A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydroesterification of α-aryl acrylic acids with CO and alcohol was developed, preparing a variety of chiral α-substituted succinates in moderate yields with high ee values. The kinetic profile of the reaction progress revealed that the alkene substrate first underwent the hydroesterification followed by esterification with alcohol. The origin of the enantioselectivity was elucidated by density functional theory computation.

Abstract
The Lucite Alpha process is the predominant technology for the preparation of acrylics. This two-stage process involves the palladium-catalysed formation of methyl propanoate from ethene, CO, and methanol, followed by the oxidative formylation of methyl propanoate into methyl methacrylate. A range of bis-1,2-disubstituted aminomethylferrocenes has been prepared and characterised. These complexes serve as precursors to a variety of bulky ferrocenylmethyldiphosphanes that, in turn, function as ligands in the palladium-catalysed process. We describe the crystal structures of five ligand precursors and provide a rationale for their design. In situ catalyst testing on palladium complexes derived from ferrocenylphosphanes demonstrates that these are highly selective (>99.5%) catalysts for the formation of methyl propanoate from ethene, CO, and methanol and have turnover numbers exceeding 50,000. This article credits those researchers who worked on this project in the early days, who received little or no credit for their achievements and endeavours.
