Abstract

A highly efficient palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl, alkenyl, and allyl halides with phenyl formate affords one-carbon-elongated carboxylic acid phenyl esters in excellent yields. The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions, avoids the use of carbon monoxide, and tolerates a wide range of functional groups including aldehyde, ether, ketone, ester, and cyano groups.
