Abstract

Carbon dioxide is not only an essential component of ‘greenhouse gases’, but also an abundant, renewable C1 feedstock in organic synthesis. The catalytic incorporation of carbon dioxide into value-added chemicals to produce carboxylic acids has received enormous attention. This review summarizes recent developments in the transition-metal-catalyzed carboxylation of organic halides and their surrogates, such as aryl, vinyl, and alkyl halides and pseudohalides.
