Abstract

Only 1-5 mol % of CO are needed to enable a Pd-catalyzed hydroxycarbonylation of aryl iodides, bromides, and chlorides in the presence of potassium formate as the only stoichiometric, mildly basic nucleophile and a reservoir of CO. The substoichiometric CO is generated in situ from an acyl-Pd(II) precatalyst, which provides both the CO and an active catalyst, and thereby obviates the need for handling the toxic gas.
