  • Title: Unexpected CO2 splitting reactions to form CO with N-heterocyclic carbenes as organocatalysts and aromatic aldehydes as oxygen acceptors.
    Author: Gu L, Zhang Y.
    Journal: J Am Chem Soc; 2010 Jan 27; 132(3):914-5. PubMed ID: 20039670.
    Abstract:
    The catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide under mild conditions using aromatic aldehydes as reductants and NHCs as organocatalysts was developed. This carbon dioxide splitting reaction provides a new method for metal-free carbon dioxide reduction and steps forward in utilizing carbon dioxide as a renewable "green" source under mild conditions. On the other hand, this reaction also shows a new economical way to oxidize aromatic aldehydes under mild conditions with carbon dioxide and could be applied in pharmaceutical synthesis.
