Abstract

Abstract Direct carboxylation of acetylene with CO 2 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 CO 2 and by producing valuable chemical feed stocks.
