Conspectus Carbon dioxide (CO2) is not only a greenhouse gas and a common waste
product but also an inexpensive, readily available, and renewable carbon resource. It is an …

High value utilization of carbon dioxide (CO2) has attracted worldwide attention for decades.
Catalytic carboxylation of alkenes with CO2 to synthesize valuable carboxylic acids and …

Diacids are important monomers in the polymer industry to construct valuable materials.
Dicarboxylation of unsaturated bonds, such as alkenes and alkynes, with CO2 has been …

Compared with general redox chemistry, electrochemistry using the electron as a potent,
controllable, yet traceless alternative to chemical oxidants/reductants usually offers more …

Carboxylation of easily available alkenes with CO2 is highly important to afford value‐added
carboxylic acids. Although dicarboxylation of activated alkenes, especially 1, 3‐dienes, has …

Herein, an efficient and facile approach to valuable β‐hydroxy acid derivatives from readily
available aryl epoxides and CO2 with high chemo‐and regioselectivity under mild and …

Herein, a direct, metal‐free, and site‐selective electrochemical C− H carboxylation of arenes
by reductive activation using CO2 as the economic and abundant carboxylic source was …

The dearomative dicarboxylation of stable heteroaromatics using CO2 is highly challenging
but represents a very powerful method for producing synthetically useful dicarboxylic acids …

Herein we disclose a strategy to promote the hydrocarboxylation of unactivated alkenes
using photochemical activation of formate salts. We illustrate that an alternative initiation …
