Light-driven carboxylation of o-alkylphenyl ketones with CO2.
o-Alkylphenyl ketones undergo a C-C bond forming carboxylation reaction with CO2 simply upon irradiation with UV light or even solar light. The reaction presents a clean process exploiting light energy as the driving force for carboxylation of organic molecules with CO2.
