Abstract:
1,8-Naphthylene dithiocarbonates enable the safe and light-controlled release of carbon monoxide gas (CO). The disulfide byproducts, produced upon blue-light irradiation of the dithiocarbonates, were readily recovered and recycled by reduction and reaction with 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI). The photochemical release process was investigated by 1H NMR, GC, FTIR, UV-vis, and DFT calculations. The ex situ evolution of CO from this recyclable platform was applied to a range of Pd-catalyzed carbonylative cross-coupling reactions using a two-chamber glass apparatus.
