Abstract
A transition-metal-free direct carboxylation of the ipso-C(sp2)-H bond of diazo compounds proceeds at ambient temperature under atmospheric pressure of carbon dioxide in the presence of a weak base. A series of unsymmetrical 1,3-diester/keto/amide diazo compounds are obtained with good yields and good functional group compatibility.
