The
direct β-selective hydrocarboxylation of styrenes under
atmospheric pressure of CO2 has been developed using photoredox
catalysis in continuous flow. The scope of this methodology was demonstrated
with a range of functionalized terminal styrenes, as well as α-substituted
and β-substituted styrenes.
