Abstract
The development of new methods for C-H carboxylation of aromatic compounds, accomplished through carbon dioxide fixation, are of great importance provided that current methods for carboxylation produce unnecessary waste, which fail to meet the requirements of green and sustainable chemistry. In an effort to find more efficient and eco-friendly methods for C-H carboxylation, this research investigated with the design, characterization, and isolation of five palladium complexes for palladium-catalyzed C−H carboxylation. The catalyst with the backbone 1-phenylpyrazole, was found to interact with palladium resulting in [Pd{(phpz)(l- AcO)}2]. When placed in a carbon dioxide environment, it was determined that C-H activation likely occurred. This was concluded by the disappearance of 2,6-lutidine in the 1H NMR signals. This finding provides an important advance for the catalytic C-H carboxylation and functionalization.
