Site-selective electrochemical carboxylation of aromatic C(sp2)–H bonds with CO2

We present a facile and economical method for synthesizing aromatic carboxylic acid derivatives through direct electrochemical C(sp2)–H carboxylation of (hetero)arenes with CO2. The reaction is carried out using a graphite felt anode and a nickel foam cathode in a user-friendly undivided cell setup...
