The conversion of inexpensive,available C1 feedstock of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added fine chemicals via homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysis has attracted great recent interest.Coinagemetal-based (Cu,Ag,and Au) catalysis has emerged as a synthetic strategy for a wide range of organic chemical reactions in past decades.In coinage-metal-catalyzed carboxylation,CO2 is adopted as a carboxylation reagent,while coinage-metal salts,complexes,and nanoparticles (NPs) serve as a Lewis acid catalyst to activate unsaturated chemicals,particularly alkynes.This mini-review focuses on the recent advances of coinage-metal-catalyzed carboxylation of terminal alkynes with CO2.Other respects,such as the role of bases,the influence of trace water,and solvent effects are also highlighted.
