Highly Efficient and Selective N-Formylation of Amines with CO2 and H2 Catalyzed by Porous Organometallic Polymers

The valorization of carbon dioxide (CO2) to fine chemicals is one of the most promising approaches for CO2 capture and utilization. Herein we demonstrated a series of porous organometallic polymers could be employed as highly efficient and recyclable catalysts for this purpose. Synergetic effects of specific surface area, iridium content, and CO2 adsorption capability are crucial to achieve excellent selectivity and yields towards N-formylation of diverse amines with CO2 and H2 under mild reaction conditions even at 20 ppm catalyst loading. Density functional theory calculations revealed not only a redox-neutral catalytic pathway but also a new plausible mechanism with the incorporation of the key intermediate formic acid via a proton-relay process. Remarkably, a record turnover number (TON=1.58×106) was achieved in the synthesis of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and the solid catalysts can be reused up to 12 runs, highlighting their practical potential in industry.

Amine formylation with CO2 and H2 catalyzed by heterogeneous Pd/PAL catalyst

For the first time, Pd supported on natural palygorskite was developed for amine formylation with CO2 and H2. Both secondary and primary amines with diverse structures could be converted into the desired formamides at 100 °C, and good to excellent yields were obtained.
