Selective palladium-catalysed carbonylations of dichloroquinoline and simple dichloropyridines

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(99)00597-3

Dichloroquinoline and some dichloropyridines undergo selective alkoxycarbonylation in the presence of carbon monoxide, an alcohol and PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂ as a catalyst, affording chloro-monoester and/or diesters in good yields under selected reaction conditions.
