Interesting work from Murakami lab in @J_A_C_S on photoinduced carboxylation of C-H bonds with carbon dioxide. Works with simple alkanes such as cyclohexane. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Carboxylation of Benzylic and Aliphatic C–H Bonds with CO2 Induced by Light/Ketone/Nickel

A photoinduced carboxylation reaction of benzylic and aliphatic C–H bonds with CO2 is developed. Toluene derivatives capture gaseous CO2 at the benzylic position to produce phenylacetic acid deriva...
