This week we will be talking about remote carboxylation with CO2! There are two papers from the Martin group in Spain that investigate Ni-catalyzed remote carboxylation from either alkyl bromide or alkene starting materials.
1. Site-Selective Catalytic Carboxylation of Unsaturated Hydrocarbons with CO2 and Water: https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.7b07637
2. Remote carboxylation of halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons with carbon dioxide: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature22316
Hope to see you there (Roma’s at 8:30am)!
