Palladium-catalyzed reductive electrocarboxylation of allyl esters with carbon dioxide†
Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed regioselective electrocarboxylation of homostyrenyl acetates with CO2 has been successfully developed, providing α-aryl carboxylic acids with good selectivity and yield. In addition, the catalytic asymmetric carboxylation of cinnamyl acetate has been demonstrated, despite moderate enantioselectivity.
