Abstract: In response to the demand for cultivating energy chemistry talents under the “Dual Carbon” strategy, this experiment presents an innovative approach involving the photoredox and copper dual-catalyzed synthesis of chiral β-cyano-4-biphenylpropionic acid, employing 4-vinylbiphenyl as the starting material, trimethylsilyl cyanide as the cyano source, and carbon dioxide as the carboxyl source. The experimental protocol encompasses the operation of micropipettes and a high-pressure photoreactor, along with separation and purification techniques such as extraction and column chromatography. Structural characterization is achieved through NMR spectroscopy, while enantioselectivity is assessed via chiral phase high-performance liquid chromatography. This comprehensive setup integrates fundamental laboratory skills with modern analytical methods, systematically enhancing students’ hands-on proficiency and data interpretation abilities. Moreover, the experiment is cost-effective, proceeds under mild conditions, and ensures operational safety. By incorporating cutting-edge green chemistry principles—such as visible-light photocatalysis and the valorization of carbon dioxide as a C1 feedstock—into the teaching curriculum, it fosters students’ awareness of sustainable development and strategic thinking aligned with the “Dual Carbon” goals, while simultaneously sharpening their scientific inquiry and innovative capabilities. This approach effectively achieves the pedagogical objectives of an innovative chemical experiment.
