Abstract

Oxalyl chloride has been demonstrated to function as C1 carbonyl synthon in the carbonylations of triarylbismuth and triarylindium nucleophiles under palladium-catalyzed conditions. All the three aryl groups from both bismuth and indium reagents participated in carbonylative couplings to afford the corresponding functionalized ketones in high yields. This study also disclosed a novel utilization of oxalyl chloride as facile alternative source ...
