Abstract
The carboxylation of benzylic and allylic chlorides by CO2 in tetrahydrofuran + hexamethylphosphoramide (40% – 60%) is electrocatalyzed by a cobalt Schiff-base complex Co(Salen). The reactions were performed by controlled-potential electrolysis at the RCo (Salen) reduction potential. The yield of the carboxylic acid formation has been calculated.
