Abstract
Mo(CO)6 mediates the alkoxycarbonylation of aryl halides as catalyst and source of CO in the presence of alcohols to afford arenecarboxylic acid esters. This convenient procedure proceeds with a small excess of carbon monoxide in the form of Mo(CO)6 and avoids the use of excess gaseous carbon monoxide. Using this procedure, various carboxylic acid esters were prepared.
