α-Amino Acids and Peptides as Bifunctional Reagents: Carbocarboxylation of Activated Alkenes via Recycling CO 2

Carboxylic acids, together with amino acids (AAs), have been broadly used as reagents for decarboxylative couplings. In distinction to earlier decarboxylative couplings that launch CO2 as a waste byproduct, herein we report a novel technique with simultaneous utilization of each the alkyl and carboxyl parts from carboxylic acids. Under this distinctive technique, carboxylic acids act as
