Abstract

Abstract The first one-pot diazotization/aminocarbonylation reaction of anilines to benzamides has been developed. In the presence of commercially available palladium acetate/P (o-Tolyl) 3 as the catalyst system without base at low temperature (50 C) a variety of amides were synthesized in moderate to good yields.
