Propionic acid (PA), a valuable chemical widely used in the food and feed industry, is currently produced by the petrochemical industry. Selective production of PA from bio-based lactic acid (LA) is difficult due to the high activation energy of the hydroxyl group at the α position of the carboxyl group. Herein, a metal-free catalytic system for the highly selective transformation of bio-based LA to PA, which was used as the solvent to simplify the separation step, is reported using NaI as the catalyst. Under the optimal reaction conditions, a >99% yield of PA can be obtained from LA. A heat-induced radical-activated hydrogen mechanism was proposed based on the kinetic study and intermediate capture. The metal-free system can be reused five times without any loss in activity, and the PA product is easily separated. In addition, a two-step method using cellulose as the raw material to produce PA was conducted. This strategy offers a green and efficient approach to synthesize PA from biomass resources.

The invention provides a method for preparing a beta, gamma-unsaturated carboxylic acid compound. The method comprises the steps of making an allylic alcohol compound of a formula 1 or a formula 2 react with formic acid in the presence of a palladium catalyst, a phosphorous ligand, acid anhydride and an organic solvent to obtain the beta, gamma-unsaturated carboxylic acid compound of a formula 3 or formula 4, wherein R1, R2 and R3 are defined in the description. Formic acid is utilized as a carboxylation reagent, and the beta, gamma-unsaturated carboxylic acid compound is low in price, safe, stable and low in toxicity; the yield is high, the operation is simple, and the economy is high; compared with an existing compounding method, the use of toxic gas carbon monoxide and/or an equivalent quantity of reactive metal reagents is avoided, and the method meets requirements for environment-friendly chemistry; in addition, the dose of catalysts is small, the reaction condition is mild, the reactant is high in conversion rate and product yield, and the method has a very good industrial prospect.

To date, examples of ?±-arylation of carboxylic acids remain scarce. Using a deprotonative cross-coupling process (DCCP), a method for palladium-catalyzed ?3-arylation of aryl acetic acids with aryl halides has been developed. This protocol is applicable to a wide range of aryl bromides and chlorides. A procedure for the palladium-catalyzed ?±-arylation of styryl acetic acids is also described.
