The synthesis of β-lactones from epoxides through ring-expanding carbonylation using homogeneous catalysts has received much attention. However, homogeneous catalysts suffer from difficulty in product separation and recycling of the catalyst, limiting their industrial usage. Herein, a novel heterogeneous catalyst, [Cr-metalated porous porphyrin polymer]<sup>+</sup>[Co(CO)<sub>4</sub>]<sup>-</sup>, was prepared and used for the conversion of propylene oxide (PO) to β-butyrolactone; this catalyst ...[more]
