The catalytic hydrocarboxylation of styrenes derivatives and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with CO2(101.3 kPa) in the presence of an air-stable rhodium catalyst was explored. The combination of [RhCl(cod)]2(cod = cyclooctadiene) as a catalyst and diethylzinc as a hydride source allowed for effective hydrocarboxylation and provided the corresponding α-aryl carboxylic acids in moderate to excellent yields. In this catalytic process with carbon dioxide, intervention of the RhI–H species, which could be generated from the RhIcatalyst and diethylzinc, was clarified. Significantly, the catalytic asymmetric hydrocarboxylation of α,β-unsaturated esters with carbon dioxide was also performed by employing a cationic rhodium complex possessing (S)-(–)-4,4′-bi-1,3-benzodioxole-5,5′-diylbis(diphenylphosphine) [(S)-SEGPHOS] as a chiral diphosphine ligand. A plausible model for asymmetric induction was proposed by determination of the absolute configuration of the product.

Tertiary carbanions were trapped with half an equivalent of diphosgene to give meso- and d,l-hexasubstituted ketones in moderate yields and modest diastereoselectivities. The ketones were also synthesized by a step-wise synthesis in which the carbonyl group was first installed as an acid before activation and the second nucleophilic attack. This second method gave lower yields but similar diastereoselectivites. Steric limits of both methods were also determined. The photolysis of the resulting crystalline ketones gave a mixture of products in solution, but took place chemoselectively and diastereospecifically in the solid-state.

(Matrix presented) Photochemical irradiation of crystalline (2R,4S)-2-carbomethoxy-4-cyano-2,4-diphenyl-3-butanone 1 led to highly efficient decarbonylation reactions. Experiments with optically pure and racemic crystals showed that the intermediate radic
