Carboxylation in chemistry is a chemical reaction in which a carboxylic acid group is introduced in a substrate. The opposite reaction is decarboxylation. Carboxylation in organic chemistry. In organic chemistry many different protocols exist for carboxylation. One general approach is by reaction of nucleophiles with dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) or formic acid An example is the KolbeâSchmitt reaction. Carboxylation catalysts are N-Heterocyclic carbenes and catalysts based on silver.
