Direct benzylic C-H carboxylation stands as a high atom economy, efficient, and convenient route for the synthesis of valuable carboxylic acids, which are great significance in many pharmaceuticals bioactive molecules. However, inherent inertness both bonds carbon dioxide presents challenge further transformations. Herein, we report our efforts to overcome this obstacle via halide-promoted linear paired electrolysis generate various acids. Remarkably, process is transition-metal- base-free, making it environmentally benign cost-effective. Besides, suitable constructing wide range primary, secondary, tertiary acids under mild reaction conditions, demonstrating broad substrate scopes good functional group tolerance. Furthermore, protocol enables direct some drug molecules, including Flurbiprofen, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, facilitates late-stage modification complex compounds, showcasing practical application synthetic chemistry underscores its potential advance related compounds.
