A Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylation Approach to Acid Chloride Synthesis
2013
Quesnel, Jeffrey S. | Arndtsen, Bruce A.
We describe a new approach to acid chloride synthesis via the palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl iodides. The combination of sterically encumbered phosphines (PᵗBu₃) and CO coordination has been found to facilitate the rapid carbonylation of aryl iodides into acid chlorides via reductive elimination from (ᵗBu₃P)(CO)Pd(COAr)Cl. The formation of acid chlorides can also be exploited to perform traditional aminocarbonylation reactions under exceptionally mild conditions (ambient temperature and pressure), and with a range of weakly nucleophilic substrates.
