Abstract
A novel Ni-catalyzed carboxylation of benzyl halides
with CO<sub>2</sub> has been developed. The described carboxylation
reaction
proceeds under mild conditions (atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> pressure)
at room temperature. Unlike other routes for similar means, our method
does not require well-defined and sensitive organometallic reagents
and thus is a user-friendly and operationally simple protocol for
assembling phenylacetic acids
