Mechanistic Insights into Palladium(II)-Catalyzed Carboxylation of Thiophene and Carbon Dioxide

The mechanism in palladium-catalyzed carboxylation of thiophene and CO<sub>2</sub> is investigated using the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, including three consecutive steps of the formation of carbanion through breaking the C–H bond(s) via the palladium acetate, the elimi...
