Palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylations of various (hetero) aryl halides with allylamine using Mo (CO) 6 as a solid, in situ CO source, were explored. Microwave-enhanced conditions proved to be highly useful in promoting the conversions in a mere 10–20min with various (hetero) aryl iodides, bromides and chlorides. The scale-up of a microwave- enhanced aminocarbonylation to 25mmol scale was performed successfully.
