The development of a direct and iterative protocol for carboxylic acid homologation has constituted a long-standing challenge in synthesis. We recently disclosed an efficient and practical strategy for the homologation of unmodified carboxylic acids, which exploits the visible light photoredox reactivity of nitroethylene. This Synpacts article aims to provide an overview of the motivation behind the design of the homologation strategy, and the key insights of its development.
