The electrochemical incorporation of CO2 into perfluoroalkyl derivatives has been explored in the case of (perfluoroalkyl)alkyl iodides and (perfluoroalkyl)alkenes, with an electrochemical system based on the use of consumable anodes combined with organometallic catalysis by nickel complexes. Iodide derivatives have been functionalized to the corresponding carboxylic acids by reductive carboxylation. Interesting and new results have been obtained from the fixation of CO2 into perfluoroalkyl olefins. Good yields of carboxylic acids could be reached by a carefull control of the reaction conditions and of the nature of the catalytic system. The main carboxylic acids are derived from the incorporation of carbon dioxide with a double bond migration and loss of one fluorine atom from the CF2 in a position of the double bond.

He carried out the gas-liquid chromatography of thermally unstable organometallic compounds followed by combustion in a conventional micro-analytical furnace, absorption of water, and detection of the carbon dioxide with a Stuve katharometer (Stuve" ). The metal oxide deposited in the furnace gradually poisons the copper oxide furnace packing, and has to be replaced frequently.

The aryl bromides undergo facile metalation with butyl lithium to produce aryllithium derivatives with the expected organometallic activity.9 For example, reaction of lithiated PPO with carbon dioxide produces a carboxylated PPO which exhibits unique blending characteristics18. 

SCHORIG1N (or Shorygin) REACTION. Organometallic reactions of the Grignard type, employing sodium in place of magnesium the reaction of alkyl sodium compounds with carbon dioxide to give monobasic acids is sometimes known as the Wanklyn reaction. 

It should be apparent from our coverage that we have just begun to understand the chemistry associated with the activation of carbon dioxide. However, efforts are presently being intensified in this area and it appears safe to predict that major advances in this field will occur during this decade. Clearly, one of the greatest challenges for the organometallic chemist will be to find potential catalysts which activate C02 and H2 simultaneously. 

Carboxylic acid groups can also be installed in molecules using the reaction of an organometallic compound with carbon dioxide. This is a reductive method since the carbon dioxide is reduced to a carboxylic acid by formation of a new carbon-carbon bond. Both Grignard reagents and organolithium compounds work well in this reaction. 

Less attention has been paid, however, to C02 organometallic chemistry during the past decade. Whilst many reduction or coupling reactions are known to proceed in the presence of stoichiometric or catalytic amounts of transition metal complexes, very few examples remain where the formation of a metal-C02 complex has led to an effective, catalytic reduction reaction of C02. Carbon dioxide complex photoactivation also represents an attractive route to CO bond cleavage, coupled with O-atom transfer. However, progress in the area of C02 utilization requires a better understanding of the reaction mechanisms, of the thermodynamics of reaction intermediates, and of structure-reactivity relationships. 

With regard to the susceptibility of many organometallics to aerial oxidation, it must be remembered that most compounds containing C-H bonds are thermodynamically unstable with respect to oxidation by molecular oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide. The mechanisms whereby (for example) many alkyls are spontaneously flammable in air are necessarily difficult to determine the mechanisms involved in the combustion of hydrocarbons are still incompletely understood. Suffice it to say that the kinetic stability of ER to air seems to be low where E is of low electronegativity.
