Abstract

Abstract In light of the growing scarcity of petroleum-based raw materials, carbon dioxide (CO 2) is becoming increasing attractive as organic carbon source. In this perspective, formic acid (HCOOH) might be an interesting bio-renewable solution to store, transport, and activate carbon dioxide for the synthesis of value-added chemicals. Herein, HCOOH has been successfully used as C 1 building block for the synthesis of a library of alcohols via a ...
