Abstract
- Formation of C-C bonds from CO<subscript>2</subscript> is a much sought after reaction in organic synthesis. To date, other than C-H carboxylations using stoichiometric amounts of metals, base, or organometallic reagents, little is known about C-C bond formation. In fact, to the best of our knowledge no catalytic methylation of C-H bonds using CO<subscript>2</subscript> and H<subscript>2</subscript> has been reported. Described herein is the combination of CO<subscript>2</subscript> and H<subscript>2</subscript> for efficient methylation of carbon nucleophiles such as indoles, pyrroles, and electron-rich arenes. Comparison experiments which employ paraformaldehyde show similar reactivity for the CO<subscript>2</subscript>/H<subscript>2</subscript> system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
