50. +) could be quite complex. It is known that Group I cations can interact with organic substrates in organic solvents behaving essentially as weak Lewis acids (Stanley, R. H.; Beauchamp, J. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1975, 97, 5920-5921; Wieting, R. D.; Stanley, R. H.; Beauchamp, J. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1975, 97, 924-926). At the same time the metal cation could shift the equilibrium toward the products by stabilizing the carboxylate or carbonate anions. The precipitation of the salts may also drive the reaction to the products.
51. CO2 = 60 bar). The reaction was then stopped by cooling and depressurizing the autoclave, and the reaction mixture was analyzed via GC. The products were isolated by silica gel column chromatography. Carbonates 12a-d are known compounds. Spectroscopic data for products were in agreement with those reported in the literature:.
