Abstract

The synthesis of carboxylic acid esters has attracted the interest of organic chemists for more than 100 years. The most common strategy for their preparation involves the stoichiometric activation of the parent acid to form a more reactive acyl halide, anhydride, or activated ester that is amenable to subsequent nucleophilic substitution.[1] An interesting and complementary transformation is the palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl halides, ...
