Reactions of calcium carbide catalyzed by transition metals: recent advances and prospects
摘要
The review systematizes and summarizes information on chemical transformations of calcium carbide catalyzed by transition metals. The successful application of CaC2 was demonstrated for obtaining mono- and disubstituted alkynes, a wide range of heterocyclic compounds, in particular pharmaceutically important triazoles and imidazoles. Calcium carbide is a convenient reagent for development of organic syntheses based on a carbon-neutral cycle.
