Figure 1. Electrochemical strategies for the carboxylation of unactivated alkenes with CO₂ via pre-activation through alkene isomerization. (A) General strategy; (B) Electrocarboxylation via cathode-induced alkene isomerization; (C) Electrocarboxylation via metal-mediated alkene isomerization. EWG: Electron withdrawing group; Fe@Cu: Fe-electroplated Cu cathode; DMSO: dimethyl sulfoxide; HAT: hydrogen atom transfer; GF: graphite felt; dppb: 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane; DMF: N,N-dimethylformamide.
