Catalytic Regio- and Enantioselective Remote Hydrocarboxylation of Unactivated Alkenes with CO₂

The catalytic regio- and enantioselective hydrocarboxylation of alkenes with carbon dioxide is a straightforward strategy to construct enantioenriched α-chiral carboxylic acids but remains a big challenge. Herein we report the first example of catalytic highly enantio- and site-selective remote hydrocarboxylation of a wide range of readily available unactivated alkenes with abundant and renewable CO
