Abstract
Carboxylation of benzyl chlorides with CO2 has been developed with photoredox/HAT dual-catalysis. The reaction could be conducted at room temperature with blue LED light source. Potassium formate (HCO2K) is used as a green reductant and a catalytic amount of sodium thiophenolate (PhSNa) is applied as the HAT reagent. Strongly reductive carbon dioxide radical anion (CO2‧–) is produced to promote the cleavage of C–Cl bond.
