Using Carbon Dioxide as a Building Block in Continuous Flow Synthesis

Abstract

Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is an attractive building block for organic synthesis that is environmentally friendly. Continuous flow technologies have enabled C−O and C−C bond forming reactions with CO 2 that previously were either low‐yielding or impossible in batch to afford value‐added chemicals. This review describes recent advances in continuous flow as an enabling strategy in utilizing CO 2 as a C 1 building block in chemical synthesis. magnified image
