Abstract
An efficient and practical molybdenum-mediated carbonylation of aryl and heteroaryl halides with a variety of nucleophiles using microwave irradiation offers a wide scope and proceeds in good to excellent yields.

Note
There is also related work published after our work by Ren and Yamane (J. Org. Chem., 2010, 75, 8410-8415. Abstract), who showed that these reactions can be performed with sub-stoichiometric amounts of molybdenum hexacarbonyl (0.2 eq.).In our work we obtained slightly reduced yields with sub-stoichiometric amounts but we did no optimisation (unpublished results).
