It is highly attractive and challenging to utilize carbon dioxide (CO2), because of its inertness, as a nontoxic and sustainable C1 source in the synthesis of valuable compounds. Here, we report a novel selective carboxylation of C(sp3)?F bonds with CO2 via visible-light photoredox catalysis. A variety of mono-, di-, and trifluoroalkylarenes as well as α,α-difluorocarboxylic esters and amides undergo such reactions to give important aryl acetic acids and α-fluorocarboxylic acids, including several drugs and analogs, under mild conditions. Notably, mechanistic studies and DFT calculations demonstrate the dual role of CO2 as an electron carrier and electrophile during this transformation. The fluorinated substrates would undergo single-electron reduction by electron-rich CO2 radical anions, which are generated in situ from CO2 via sequential hydride-transfer reduction and hydrogen-atom-transfer processes. We anticipate our finding to be a starting point for more challenging CO2 utilization with inert substrates, including lignin and other biomass.

Paragraph 0032-0033, (2020/03/06)
The invention discloses a method for converting benzyl borate compounds into phenylacetic acid and derivatives thereof by carbon dioxide. The method comprises the steps: dissolving the benzyl borate compounds and an alkali in an organic solvent in the absence of a metal catalyst, introducing carbon dioxide into the reaction system, carrying out a reaction at the temperature of 50-150 DEG C for 3-72 hours, and acidifying to obtain phenylacetic acid or the derivatives thereof. The method is a green, simple and efficient method for synthesizing phenylacetic acid and the derivatives thereof, greenhouse gas carbon dioxide is used as a carbon source in the reaction, no transition metal catalyst is used, and the method is environmentally friendly, economical and high in efficiency.

Given the sudden and unexplained rise in the cost of (+)- A nd (-)-sparteine, an alternative method for the resolution of vaulted biaryls has been developed. This method involves the reaction of a racemic vaulted biaryl ligand with one equivalent of BH3·SMe2 and one equivalent of either quinine or quinidine. A precipitate then forms from the resulting mixture of diastereomeric borates as a result of differential solubilities. Hydrolysis of the precipitate then liberates the (S)-ligand in the case of quinine and the (R)-ligand in the case of quinidine, both with >99% ee. This method has been applied to 16 different vaulted biaryl ligands, including 10 whose preparation is described here for the first time. In addition, proof of principle has been demonstrated for the dynamic thermodynamic resolution of the vaulted biaryl ligands with this method in combination with a nonchiral copper(II) complex that can racemize the ligand.
