A reversible CO2 carrier (RCC) has been developed to perform carboxylation of ketone to beta-ketoester under ambient CO2 pressure and temperature. RCC has been synthesized by immobilizing 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) on methylhydrosiloxane support and reacting with CO2 with 100% degree of functionalisation. RCC is found to be recyclable and shows retention of activity in 5 recycles. CO2 absorption under ambient temperature and desorption at 120 degrees C renders the material suitable for carrying out carboxylation reactions at 25 degrees C with excellent yields. The yield of the reaction can reach up to 100% with TON 200 in 4 h. The extent of the reaction primarily depends upon enol content of the substrate. beta-Ketoacid produced during the reaction can be isolated and converted to its corresponding methyl ester derivative by reacting with methyl iodide.
