Palladium-catalyzed regioselective electrocarboxylation of homostyrenyl acetates with CO 2 has been successfully developed, providing α-aryl carboxylic acids with good selectivity and yield.
Palladium-catalyzed C(sp 2 )–H methylation and acylation via anodic oxidation have been developed to avoid the use of stoichiometric chemical oxidants.
