  • CARBONATE-PROMOTED CARBOXYLATION AT HIGH RATES
    Publication number: 20230048043
    Abstract: A method for synthesizing furan-2, 5-dicarboxylate (FDCA2?) is provided. Furan-2-carboxylate is provided with an inorganic base in the form of an inorganic base salt, wherein the furan-2-carboxylate and the inorganic base salt form a mixture. A CO2 gas is provided to the mixture. The mixture is heated to a temperature to at least partially melt the mixture, wherein the heating of the mixture causes the synthesizing of a MxFDCA solid, wherein MxFDCA denotes a salt comprising furan-2,5-dicarboxylate (FDCA2?) and cation M+ and/or M2+, where x is a number between 1 and 2, inclusive. The mixture containing furan-2-carboxylate is mechanically agitated, wherein the mechanically agitating breaks up the MxFDCA solid.

  • Carbonate-promoted carboxylation reactions for the synthesis of valuable organic compounds
    Patent number: 10710971
    Abstract: A method for synthesizing a dicarboxylate containing an aromatic heterocycle is provided. A carboxylic acid containing a heterocycle is provided. A CO32? salt is provided to form a mixture, which converts the carboxylic acid containing an aromatic heterocycle to a carboxylate containing an aromatic heterocycle. CO2 gas is provided to the mixture. The mixture is heated to a temperature to at least partially melt the carboxylate containing an aromatic heterocycle.
