[en] A silver-catalyzed cascade conversion of modular alkyne-1,n-diols and carbon dioxide has been developed allowing for the selective formation of keto-functionalized cyclic carbonates. The protocol is characterized by its operational simplicity, excellent scope of carbonate-based heterocycles, and mild reaction conditions. In situ IR studies, control experiments, and detailed computational analysis of these manifolds reveal the intermediacy of an α-alkylidene carbonate that is intercepted by an intramolecular alcohol nucleophile. The synthetic potential of this conceptually attractive CO2 transformation is demonstrated in the preparation of larger ring carbonates and their thermal rearrangement to sterically crowded, five-membered fused carbonate products.

In the last two reactions of Table 1, a much lower chemoselectivity towards the keto-carbonate 2a was observed, with various unidentified products in the crude mixture.
The Gaussian 16 program was used with implemented functional and basis set PBE0-D3(BJ)/SDD/def2tzv being chosen (14,18,19) using dispersion correction with Becke-Johnson damping. (20,21) All calculations were carried out at 298 K using an acetonitrile solvent model SMD. Full access to the computational data is provided through: http://dx.doi.org/10.19061/iochem-bd-1-214.
