Abstract: Sm(II)-catalyzed carboxylation of benzyl halides is reported through the electrochemical reduction of CO2. The transformation proceeds under mild reaction conditions to afford the corresponding phenylacetic acids in good to excellent yields. This user-friendly and operationally… read more here.
