Abstract

Molybdenum hexacarbonyl is a convenient and solid carbon monoxide source in a microwave-accelerated palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl bromides and iodides. 16 different aromatic amides were synthesized under air in good yields after only 15 min of controlled microwave irradiation.
