Recently, our lab has developed a copper-catalyzed regioselective boracarboxylation of vinyl arenes. This transformation uses the cheap, abundant C1 feedstock of carbon dioxide to access α-aryl carboxylic acid derivatives. The synthetic utility of these new compounds in subsequent reactions like oxidation, fluorination, and cross-coupling will be discussed.<br/>
