, p. 167 - 168 (2007/10/02)
Benzylic, aryl, and alkyl halides react with formate esters and carbon monoxide, in the presence of the dimer of chloro(hexa-1,5-diene)rhodium(I), 2, to give carboxylic esters: bimetallic catalysis 2> is particularly beneficial when an aromatic halide is used as the substrate.
SYNTHESIS OF ESTERS BY RHODIUM(I) CATALYZED BORATE ESTER-BENZYLIC BROMIDE CARBONYLATION REACTIONS
Woell, James B.,Alper, Howard
, p. 3791 - 3794 (2007/10/02)
Benzylic halides react with trialkylborates and carbon monoxide, in the presence of 1,5-hexadienerhodium chloride dimer, to give esters in excellent yields.The reaction is applicable to the synthesis of primary, secondary and even tertiary esters.
