  • Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the University of Science and Technology of China
  • Develops a new method for preparing ß, ?-unsaturated carboxylic acids
  • Demonstrates that the combination of Ni(II) salt with a bisphosphine ligand and catalytic amount of acid anhydride can catalyze atom-economic hydrocarboxylation for a broad range of alkynes with formic acid

About this book

This book introduces readers to the use of formic acid for efficient organic synthesis. It describes the N-methylation of aromatic and aliphatic amines with formic acid using a boron-based catalyst [B(C6F5)3] in combination with silanes and without the need for an expensive transition metal catalyst. It also shows that formic acid interacts with alkynes and allyl alcohols through a carbonylation process that generates carbon monoxide in situ from nickel and palladium catalysis, respectively, doing away with the need to use high-pressure CO gas and offering a user-friendly and practical method for preparing functionalized α, β- and β, γ-unsaturated carboxylic acids. The findings presented not only enrich the field of ‘C1 chemistry,’ but also support the advancement of green and sustainable chemistry.

About the author

Dr. Ming-Chen Fu received his B.Sc. degree from Hefei University of Technology in 2013, and doctoral degree from The University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) under the supervision of Prof. Yao Fu in 2018. He then worked as a postdoctoral fellow at USTC. His research interests are focused on green synthetic reactions based on formic acid, and development of novel catalytic systems in visible light-induced decarboxylative coupling reactions.
