An efficient ligand-free protocol for the amincocarbonylation of aryl iodides
with aromatic and aliphatic amines afforded the desired amides in excellent
yields using a low loading of palladium(II) acetate as catalyst in water under
mild operating conditions. The system tolerated a wide variety of hindered and
functionalized substrates.

In a simple, Mo-mediated carbamoylation reaction of aryl halides, the
incorporation of carbon monoxide is so efficient that it requires only a slight
excess amount of carbon monoxide in the form of its molybdenum complex, Mo(CO)6.
The reaction is applicable for the synthesis of a wide variety of not only
secondary and tertiary amides but also primary amides by using aqueous ammonia.

A Pd-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl bromides into the corresponding
Weinreb amides at atmospheric pressure efficiently transforms
eletron-deficient, - neutral, and -rich aryl bromides.

Molybdenum hexacarbonyl is a convenient and solid carbon monoxide source in a microwave-accelerated
palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl bromides and iodides.
16 different aromatic amides were synthesized under air in good yields after
only 15 min of controlled microwave irradiation.
