Abstract

A new type of carbonylation of styrenes was achieved under a 1: 1 mixture of CO (0.5 atm) and O 2 (0.5 atm) in the presence of Pd (OAc) 2 combined with H 5 PMo 10 V 2 O 40· nH 2 O to give 4-methyl-2-phenylnaphthalen-1 (4H)-one in 78% yield. Various substituted styrenes were also carbonylated to the corresponding substituted arylnaphthalen-1 (4H)-ones in moderate yields. The reaction was found to proceed in two stages involving the head-to- ...
