Breakthrough in Inertness: Study on Benzylic C-H Carboxylation Reaction Involving Non-Transition Metals and Alkali

Recently, the team led by Professor Qiu Youai from Nankai University published an article titled “Electrochemical Benzylic C−H Carboxylation” in J. Am. Chem. Soc., reporting a method for achieving benzylic C-H carboxylation reactions through halide-promoted linear paired electrolysis, synthesizing various benzylic carboxylic acids and providing a new green and general method in this field.Research Background … Read more
