Research progress in the carboxylation of carbon dioxide with unsaturated hydrocarbons to acrylic acid and its derivatives

Carbon dioxide conversion to value-added chemicals is one of the effective strategies to achieve the “carbon neutral” target. Carboxylation of unsaturated hydrocarbons with CO₂ as carboxyl source and transition metal as catalyst is a new technology for valuable utilization of CO₂ to synthesize acrylic acid derivatives. This review summarizes the application of different metal catalysts (Ni, Pd, Cu, etc.) in the carboxylation of CO₂ with olefins, alkynes, and allenes, which focuses on the metal-ligand optimization and the regulation of reaction conditions in different catalytic systems. The catalytic characteristics and mechanism of different catalysts are systematically compared, and some key issues such as the rate-controlling step in the catalytic reaction cycle and catalyst regeneration are discussed. Finally, the future research directions and applications of the catalytic reaction systems involving the above three unsaturated hydrocarbons are prospected. It is speculated that the process of coupling carboxylation of CO₂ and ethylene to prepare acrylic acid has industrial prospects, while the development and optimization of the related reactions in the reductive carboxylation systems of CO₂ with alkynes or allenes would provide new ideas for the efficient synthesis of highly regioselective unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives.
