Developing efficient chemical methods for the conversion of carbon dioxide into small organic building blocks presents a promising means for the chemical industry to deviate from petrochemical feedstocks. The talk will cover developments on an operationally simple and low-cost electrochemical set-up for the production of CO on demand in synthetically useful scales with a commercially available iron catalyst. Particularly valuable is its adaptation to palladium catalyzed carbonylation reactions for carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond formation in the synthesis of pharmaceutically related molecules. Secondly, efforts on the development of suitable nickel catalysts for promoting carbonylative couplings with alkyl halides will also be presented.
