An efficient and convenient palladium-catalyzed carbonylation reaction for the synthesis of benzyl benzoates from aryl bromides has been developed. Benzyl formates have been explored as a new type of efficient and useful CO sources and also reaction partners. A wide range of benzyl benzoates was obtained in good to excellent yields.

We discovered that with the promotion of sulfuryl fluoride, the carbonyl groups of amides performed as nucleophiles while the hydroxyl groups of alcohols were activated to functionalize as electrophiles. This study displayed that the amide C-N bonds could be easily cleaved with delicate nucleophiles to form the ester C-O bonds at room temperature without using transition metals. The broad substrate scope and excellent functional group compatibility were proved with 44 examples in up to 99% yields.
