Transition-metal-free carbonylation of aryl halides with arylboronic acids by utilizing stoichiometric CHCl3 as the carbon monoxide-precursor

摘要

Under transition-metal-free conditions, carbonylative Suzuki couplings of aryl halides with arylboronic acid using stoichiometric CHCl3 as the carbonyl source has been developed. The simple, efficient, and environmentally benign method was successfully applied to the synthesis of Fenofibric acid, naphthyl phenstatin, and carbon-13 labeled biaryl ketone.
