The crucial roles of MgCl2 as a non-innocent additive in the Ni-catalyzed carboxylation of benzyl halide with CO2

Abstract

Ni-catalyzed carboxylation of the C(sp3)–Cl bond with CO2 in the presence of MgCl2 was theoretically investigated. MgCl2 plays three crucial roles in stabilization of a NiI–CO2 adduct and acceleration of the CO2 insertion as a non-innocent additive and the one-electron reduction process as one kind of reagent.
