To use carbon dioxide as a source of carbon, recent progress has been made toward the synthesis of higher value chemicals and in particular toward Cn compounds. In this context, we report here the synthesis of a borylated C 3 ‐carbohydrate from CO 2 as the only source of carbon. This result correspo...
