Abstract

A robust allylic palladium-NHC complex exhibited extremely high catalytic activity toward aminocarbonylation of various aryl iodides under atmospheric carbon monoxide pressure. A broad range of secondary and primary amines were tolerated. A gram scale synthesis of the anticancer drug tamibarotene further highlightes the practical applicability of the protocol.
