The transformation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful chemicals, advanced materials, and
energy is a long-standing challenge in both fundamental science and industry. In recent …

In this contribution, we provide a comprehensive overview of C–H activation methods
promoted by NHC–transition metal complexes, covering the literature since 2002 (the year …

C–H activation has surfaced as an increasingly powerful tool for molecular sciences, with
notable applications to material sciences, crop protection, drug discovery, and …

The dearomative dicarboxylation of stable heteroaromatics using CO2 is highly challenging
but represents a very powerful method for producing synthetically useful dicarboxylic acids …

Carbon dioxide is a nontoxic, renewable, and abundant C1 source, whereas C− H bond
functionalization represents one of the most important approaches to the construction of …

An unprecedented Rh (I)-catalyzed, amino-group-assisted C–H carboxylation of 2-
arylanilines with CO2 under redox-neutral conditions has been developed. This reaction …

The first catalytic lactonization of unactivated aryl C–H bonds with CO2 to afford important
phthalides is reported. Notably, this method features high selectivity, excellent functional …

Rapid environmental changes triggered by the increase in the concentration of heat-
absorbing gases such as CO2 in the atmosphere have become a major cause of concern …

This manuscript describes a mild, functional group tolerant, and metal-free C–H
carboxylation that enables direct access to azole-2-carboxylic acids, followed by amide …

We describe the development of [(NHC) Pd (cinnamyl) Cl] complexes of ImPy (ImPy=
imidazo [1, 5-a] pyridin-3-ylidene) as a versatile class of precatalysts for cross-coupling …
