Photocatalytic Carbinol Cation/Anion Umpolung: Direct Addition of Aromatic Aldehydes and Ketones to Carbon Dioxide

We have developed a new photocatalytic umpolung reaction of carbonyl compounds to generate anionic carbinol synthons. Aromatic aldehydes or ketones reacted with carbon dioxide in the presence of an iridium photocatalyst and 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazole (DMBI) as a reductant under visible-light irradiation to furnish the corresponding α-hydroxycarboxylic acids through nucleophilic addition of the resulting carbinol anions to electrophilic carbon dioxide.
