Photocatalytic, Scalable Anti-Markovnikov Hydrocarboxylation of Unactivated Alkenes via Amine-Mediated CO2 •– Generation from Formate
The use of formate salt as a C1 synthon offers a practical and accessible carboxylating reagent relative to the gaseous alternatives. However, photochemical transient CO2 •– generation from formate and its utilization for carboxylation reactions is mostly restricted to the activated alkenes. Herein, we report a general...
