“…In this regard, molybdenum hexacarbonyl was previously identified as an easily handled solid reagent for the in situ release of carbon monoxide upon heating in sealed vessels. It has been proven to enable the fast development of new easy-to-execute carbonylation protocols and depending on the nucleophiles employed, aromatic esters, [20] amides, [21] carboxylic acids, [20,21a] sulfonimides, [22] and alkynyl ketones [23] were smoothly obtained. Furthermore, it has also been employed in double carbonylation of aryl iodides in the presence of tBu 3 P as a ligand.…”
