Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0304-5102(89)80091-4

The authors report that tricarbonyl (chlorobenzene) chromium can undergo a double carbonylation in the presence of diethylamine to give the corresponding α-oxo amide. This is the first report of an easy access to the double carbonylation of chloroarene de
