N-Formylsaccharin as a CO Source: Applications and Recent Developments

摘要

This review describes the research progress of the N-formylsac- charin as a newly efficient and environmentally friendly carbon monoxide (CO) surrogate in the carbonylation reactions including the synthesis of aldehydes, esters, ketones, acyl fluorides or other reactions. Besides, its advantages in term of inexpensive, ease of handling and stable on storage signifi- cantly enhance practicality of the approach in laboratory scale.
