Functionalization of saturated hydrocarbons by aprotic superacids 5. Regioselective carbonylation of propane in an organic solvent initiated by aprotic organic superacids CX4·nAlBr3 (X = Br, Cl; n = 1 or 2)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF01431610

Aprotic organic superacids CX₄ · nAlBr₃ (X = Br, Cl; n = 1 or 2) are effective initiators of carbonylation of propane with CO in an organic solvent at -10 to -20°C.
