Utilizing CO₂ for the production of bulky and valuable chemicals presents an attractive solution to address environmental and fossil energy crises. Among the various approaches, direct carboxylation of alcohols with CO₂ stands out as an eco-friendly process capable of efficiently producing carboxylic acids in a sustainable manner. However, the high dissociation energy of the C-O bond poses a significant challenge in this process. Over the past few decades, several strategies have been developed to activate alcohols and establish efficient catalytic systems for carboxylation with CO₂. Nevertheless, the sporadic nature of reported approaches makes it difficult to determine the most effective one. This perspective aims to provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art catalytic protocols for carboxylating alcohols with CO₂, encompassing esterification, halogenation, and photocatalysis, while considering their respective advantages and limitations. We aim to discern the most promising avenues for future development in this field. The insights presented in this perspective will contribute to the advancement of efficient and sustainable carboxylation methods using CO₂, leading to the production of valuable chemicals in future.
