Abstract In recent years, the deployment of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a renewable and benign building block in the assembly of bioactive heterocycles and pharmaceuticals has become one of the most appealing topics in the CO2 utilization. In this context, the photo/electrochemical approaches are acknowledged as powerful toolkits in the manufacture of CO2-based heterocycles and pharmaceuticals, which enables the CO2 valorization to take place in a more mild-mannered and eco-friendly conditions with respect to other chemical patterns. In this review, several typical examples on the photo/electrochemical fixation of CO2 into divergent heterocyclic scaffolds and important pharmaceuticals are highlighted. Furthermore, the detailed mechanistic descriptions of various synthetic paradigms are also described to provide a better understanding on the success of these strategies.

二氧化碳的光/电化学固定合成杂环化合物和药物的最新进展

摘要 近年来，在生物活性杂环化合物和药物的组装中，将二氧化碳 (CO2) 作为一种可再生的良性构建块进行部署已成为 CO2 利用中最具吸引力的话题之一。在这种情况下，光/电化学方法被认为是制造基于 CO2 的杂环化合物和药物的强大工具包，这使得 CO2 的价值化能够在比其他化学模式更温和、更环保的条件下进行. 在这篇综述中，重点介绍了将 CO2 光/电化学固定成不同杂环支架和重要药物的几个典型例子。此外，
