carboxylation
Sign in to saveCarboxylation is a chemical reaction in which a carboxylic acid is produced by treating a substrate with carbon dioxide. The opposite reaction is decarboxylation. In chemistry, the term carbonation is sometimes used synonymously with carboxylation, especially when applied to the reaction of carbanionic reagents with CO2. More generally, carbonation usually describes the production of carbonates.

==Organic chemistry== Carboxylation is a standard conversion in organic chemistry. Specifically carbonation (i.e., carboxylation) of Grignard reagents, organolithium, and related carbanionic reagents is a classic way to convert organic halides into carboxylic acids. This approach give carboxylate salts. Typically, these salts are converted to the carboxylic acid.
