Abstract

Various metal-based systems have been investigated successfully for decarbonylation reactions including those with Ru, 12 Ir, 13 Rh 14–19 and Pd 20–26 at 180–280 °C with limited substrate scope. However, very few of the existing decarbonylation catalysts are easily available and almost all of them are costly. Often, the decarbonylations are done either under high temperature or with a chemical scavenger to remove the evolved CO. 27 In total synthesis, a ...
