NHC catalyzed transformation of aromatic aldehydes to acids by carbon dioxide: an unexpected reaction.
A facile NHC-mediated reaction of aromatic aldehydes with carbon dioxide leading to carboxylic acids is described. The present protocol is mechanistically important, and it can serve as a tool for the sequestration of carbon dioxide.
