Carbon monoxide is one of the most important C1 molecules in organic chemistry. Many novel procedures for its conversion have been developed, and some have even been industrialized. In this review, we discuss and categorize CO chemistry into four classes: (1) transition-metal-mediated carbonylation, (2) strong-acid-initiated cationic carbonylation, (3) anionic carbonylation, and (4) free-radical carbonylation. Relevant achievements are selected and discussed in detail.

“…A series of phosphine ligands were also examined to determine the ligand effect on this transformation (Table 1, entries 9-11, see details in SI). [16] Bidentate phosphine ligands showed lower activity, the yields decreased to 42% and 2% for dppf and xantphos respectively. Monodentate phosphine ligands such as trianisylphosphine were effective to catalyze this reaction and provided the product 3 gb in comparable yield.…”

Palladium‐Catalyzed Carbonylative Coupling of Aryl Iodides with Alkyl Bromides: Efficient Synthesis of Alkyl Aryl Ketones

Chen

et al. 2018

Adv Synth Catal

Alkyl aryl ketones are important structures with applications in many areas of chemistry. Hence, efficient procedures for their production are particularly attractive. In this communication, a general and efficient carbonylative cross-coupling of aryl iodides and unactivated alkyl bromides is presented. By using a simple palladium catalyst, a series of alkyl aryl ketones were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields from readily available alkyl and aryl halides in an In-Ex tube with formic acid as the CO source. In this study both primary and secondary alkyl bromides/iodides were suitable coupling partners. Additionally, this method can also be employed for the late-stage functionalization of complex natural products and polyfunctionalized molecules.
