✦ Synopsis

While considerable progress has been made in the field of C±H activation with transition metal complexes, [1] the number of potentially useful metalcatalyzed C±H functionalization reactions remains rather limited. [2] One transformation of this kind is the Fujiwara reaction which affords aromatic carboxylic acids directly from arenes and CO (Scheme 1). [3] Scheme 1.
