Abstract
Optimized reaction conditions for a Heck-type carbonylation of (hetero)aryl bromides with [Fe(CO)5] enable alkoxycarbonylations in the presence of methanol and butanol and aminocarbonylations in the presence of various amines, including aniline and benzotriazole, with reasonable results.

Note
As far as we have tested, in the case of a chloride on an activated position in a heterocycle (e.g. 2- position in pyridine or 4-posidion in pyrimidine), the method works with results similar to bromides.
