Synthesis of carboxylic acids and derivatives using CO2 as a sustainable and renewable source of carboxyl is most probably the area that has experienced the most growth in the field of CO2 conversion reactions. Over the years, an enormous effort has been put forth by scientists toward exploration of the utility of various nucleophilic partners in the coupling with electrophilic CO2. Organosilicon compounds are one of the latest nucleophilic reagents that was joined to the story of carboxylation reactions with CO2 and has been the subject of a number of studies in recent years. The aim of this ...
