Photocatalytic reductive incorporation of carbon dioxide into double bonds
Carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) is a challenging molecule to incorporate into olefins due to its inherent inert properties. Silanes have now been shown to rapidly react selectively with CO<sub>2</sub>, catalysed by the presence of a caesium base, to form formate salts which can undergo a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) to give the desired CO<sub>2</sub>˙<sup>-</sup> adducts in the presence of activated olefins.
