	abstract = {<p>A concise and efficient synthesis of (+/-)-clopidogrel, an antithrombotic agent, is achieved by inserting CO2 at the benzylic position as the key reaction without using any toxic transition metals. The overall yield of the synthetic process is 38\% and the salient features include operationally simple process chemistry and fewer steps.</p>},
