Carboxylation of o-cresol, m-cresol, and p-cresol with sodium ethyl carbonate (SEC) proceeds regioselectively with the formation of cresotic acids: 2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-4-methylbenzoic acid, and 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzoic acid, respectively. Optimal conditions for conducting the process have been found to be as follows: the reactants ratio of [cresol]: [sodium ethyl carbonate] = (1.5–2): 1, T = 180–185°C, PCO2 = 10 atm, and t = 6–7 h. Simple and convenient methods for the synthesis of cresotic acids, which can be used for their industrial manufacturing, have been developed.

While a great number of ortho C-H functionalization reactions have been developed and several breakthroughs have been achieved in meta C-H activation, para C-H functionalization is still in its infancy stage. In this article, a versatile strategy for the synthesis of para-substituted arenes has been developed via a tandem process consisting of palladium-catalyzed C-H functionalization and subsequent copper-catalyzed protodecarboxylation of benzoic acids. Both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating functionalities can be introduced into the para positions of arenes bearing a variety of substituents.
