AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for the carboxylation of allyl C-H bonds have harsh reaction conditions, limited substrate range and product types, and poor functional group compatibility, making it difficult to achieve the catalytic transformation of various allyl C-H bonds under mild conditions.
The allylic C-H bond carboxylation reaction is employed, in which an olefin reaction substrate, a photosensitizer, a copper catalyst, and an alkaline substance are mixed in a CO2 atmosphere and stirred under visible light irradiation to generate 3-butenoic acid compounds.
This method enables the efficient synthesis of various 3-butenoic acid compounds under mild conditions. It features mild reaction conditions, a wide range of applicable substrates, good functional group compatibility, and good chemical and regioselectivity, making it suitable for the synthesis of a variety of natural products, bioactive molecules, and drug molecules.
