Transition-metal-mediated carboxylation of NÀH and CÀH bonds represents a nascent area in organic chemistry, because these reactions enable the efficient construction of valuable synthons.[1] Palladium-catalyzed N-carbonylation–oxidation sequences are well-documented, but they often require high catalyst loadings and the use of either gaseous carbon monoxide or GroupVI metal–carbonyl complexes.[2] An analogous transformation sequence is also promoted by molybdenum and tungsten carbonyl amine species under forcing temperatures.[3] Important advances in C-carboxylation reactions have been made using ruthenium [1a] and nickel complexes;[4] however, examples under mild conditions are elusive. The carboxylation of allylstannanes,[5] organozincs,[6] and organoboronic esters [7, 8] have been described as a new method to improve functional group tolerance, but the stoichiometric consumption of an organometallic reagent remains a disadvantage. The reactivity of allylstannanes and organozinc compounds necessitates handling under an inert atmosphere, while organoboronic esters are expensive. A protocol has recently been developed for the C-carboxylation of simple aromatic groups under very mild reaction conditions. In this case the strongly basic [Au (IPr)(OH)][9](IPr= 1, 3-bis (diisopropyl) phenylimidazol-2-ylidene [10]) complex (pKa DMSO= 30.3 (2)) was used,[11] which contains an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand [Eq.(1)].
