SULFUR OXOACID-SUBSTITUTED AND PHOSPHORUS OXOACID-SUBSTITUTED POLYAROMATIC RESINS AND SALTS THEREOF AS PROMOTERS IN ACRYLATE PRODUCTION FROM COUPLING REACTIONS OF OLEFINS AND CARBON DIOXIDE

摘要

This disclosure provides for catalyst systems and processes for forming an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid or a salt thereof. In an aspect, the catalyst system can comprise: a transition metal precursor comprising a Group 8-11 transition metal and at least one first ligand; optionally, at least one second ligand; an olefin; carbon dioxide (CO₂); a diluent; and an oxoacid anion-substituted polyaromatic resin comprising a sulfonated polyaromatic resin, a phosphonated polyaromatic resin, a sulfinated polyaromatic resin, a thiosulfonated, or a thiosulfinated polyaromatic resin, and further comprising associated metal cations. Methods of regenerating the polyaromatic resin with associated metal cations are described.
