Desilylative Carboxylation of Aryltrimethylsilanes Using CO2 in the Presence of Catalytic Phosphazenium Salt
An efficient method for the desilylative carboxylation of aryltrimethylsilanes with CO2 catalyzed by phosphazenium salt has been developed. This protocol can provide various arylcarboxylic acids that are important structural motifs in biologically active chemical compounds.
