Abstract

A method for carboxylation of aryl iodides with carbon dioxide has been developed. The reaction employs low loadings of copper iodide/N, N, N′, N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) or N, N′-dimethylethylenediamine (DMEDA) catalyst, 1 atm of CO2, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or dimethylacetamide (DMA) solvent, and proceeds at 25–70° C. Good functional group tolerance is observed, with ester, bromide, chloride, fluoride, ether, ...
