In this paper we report on the ‘oxidative‐carboxylation’ of olefins catalysed by either transition metal complexes or metal oxides. We discuss the oxidation mechanism under homogeneous and heterogeneous conditions. In the former case the process is driven by co‐ordination to the metal centre, in the latter a radical reaction takes place. The yield of carbonate is strongly dependent on the catalyst used.
