Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidative Carbonylation of Aromatic C-H Bonds with Alcohols using Molybdenum Hexacarbonyl as the Carbon Monoxide Source

摘要

With molybdenum hexacarbonyl as the carbon monoxide source, a general palladium-catalyzed carbonylative transformation of the C-H bond on aromatic rings to produce esters has been developed. Good yields of the corresponding products have been obtained with wide functional group tolerance and excellent regioselectivity. A variety of aliphatic alcohols are suitable reactants here.
