Carbon dioxide aprotic conditions

The initial products of such additions under aprotic conditions are organosamarium reagents and further (tandem) transformations are possible, including addition to ketones, anhydrides, or carbon dioxide. [Pg.449]

The addition of carbanions, generated electrochemically by reduction of the carbon-halogen bond, to carbon dioxide has been examined under a variety of experimental conditions. Direct electrosynthesis of carboxylic acids in a divided cell using an aprotic solvent and a tetraalkylammonium salt as electrolyte is most sue-... [Pg.147]
