A nickel/N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysed carboxylation of aryl-, heteroaryl- and alkenylboronates, affording the corresponding carboxylic acids, has been developed. This transformation proceeds under one atmosphere of CO2 with a broad range of substrates and exhibits good functional group compatibility.
