A new, efficient, and practical molybdenum-mediated carbonylation of aryl and heteroaryl halides with a variety of nucleophiles is described using microwave irradiation. A range of reactions illustrating the wide scope of this chemistry were carried out and proceeded in good to excellent yields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
