Catalytic direct hydrocarboxylation of styrenes with CO2 and H2

Hydrocarboxylation of olefins with CO2 provides a useful approach for the synthesis of aliphatic carboxylic acids. Here, the authors report a rhodium-catalysed hydrocarboxylation of styrenes with CO2, using hydrogen as the terminal reductant.
