Palladium(0)-catalyzed carbonylation of alkenyl- and aryl-borates and boronic acids with carbon monoxide

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(88)80220-1

Alkenyl- and aryl-borates and boronic acids react with CO under atmospheric pressure in methanol at 25 deg C in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(PPh3)4 to give the corresponding methyl carboxylates and ketones in moderate yields.
