title: Palladium-catalyzed formation of phenolic compounds by reaction of carbonyl compounds with carbon dioxide.
abstract: The use of carbon dioxide as a renewable and environmentally friendly source of carbon is highly attractive. A novel and efficient protocol for the synthesis of phenolic compounds from carbonyl compounds and carbon dioxide in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)(2) has been developed. This reaction is appealing for industries and is a tool for the sequestration of carbon dioxide.
