Advances in Catalyst Design for β-Lactone Formation via Ring-Expansion Carbonylation

Over the past three decades, β-lactones have emerged as valuable intermediates for producing diverse industrial chemicals and biodegradable polymers. The ring-expansion carbonylation (REC) of epoxides has become an atom-economical and direct approach to β-lactone production, leveraging readily avail...
