Tandem Pauson‐Khand Reaction Using Carbon Dioxide as the C1‐Source

Abstract We describe the use of CO 2 as a promising C1 source instead of CO in the tandem Pauson‐Khand reaction. The reaction is achieved by combining the reduction of CO 2 to CO using a metal organic framework (MOF) catalyst with homogeneous rhodium catalysts for the cycloaddition step. A range of substrates were converted in moderate to good yields.
