Visible-Light-Enabled Carboxylation of Benzyl Alcohol Derivatives with CO 2 Using a Palladium/Iridium Dual Catalyst.

Invited for this month's cover is the group of Nobuharu Iwasawa at Tokyo Institute of Technology. The image shows a switchable site-selective carboxylation between benzylic C-O and aryl C-Cl moieties enabled by a palladium/iridium dual catalyst under visible light irradiation.
