A highly efficient carboxylation of benzyl alcohol derivatives with CO2 using a palladium/iridium dual catalyst under visible-light irradiation was developed. A wide range of benzyl alcohol derivatives could be employed to provide benzylic carboxylic acids in moderate to high yields. Mechanistic studies indicated that the oxidative addition of benzyl alcohol derivatives was possibly the rate-determining-step. It was also found that a switchable site-selective carboxylation between benzylic C?O and aryl C?Cl moieties could be achieved simply by changing the palladium catalyst.

Cross-electrophile couplings between two electrophiles are powerful and economic methods to generate C-C bonds in the presence of stoichiometric external reductants. Herein, we report a novel strategy to realize the first external-reductant-free cross-electrophile coupling via visible-light photoredox catalysis. A variety of tetraalkyl ammonium salts, bearing primary, secondary, and tertiary C-N bonds, undergo selective couplings with aldehydes/ketone and CO2. Notably, the in situ generated byproduct, trimethylamine, is efficiently utilized as the electron donor. Moreover, this protocol exhibits mild reaction conditions, low catalyst loading, broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and facile scalability. Mechanistic studies indicate that benzyl radicals and anions might be generated as the key intermediates via photocatalysis, providing a new direction for cross-electrophile couplings.

A highly efficient cobalt-catalyzed carbonylative approach to phenylacetic acid derivatives under one atmosphere pressure is reported. This methodology represents a useful extension of benzimidazole used as ligand in metal catalysis, and the catalytic mechanism has been proved by computer simulation. Notably, this new cobalt precatalyst, which promotes the carbonylation reaction dramatically and has already been used for scale-up experiment of phenylacetic acid derivatives.
