Theoretical Study of the Kolbe-Schmitt Reaction Mechanism

Abstract A theoretical study of the Kolbe-Schmitt reaction mechanism, performed using a DFT method, reveals that the reaction between sodium phenoxide and carbon dioxide proceedswith the formation of three transition states and three intermediates. In the first step of the reaction, a polarized ONa...
