Benzyl halides are readily carbonylated to arylacetic acids in a two-phase system (aqueous sodium hydroxide (1M), tetrabutylammonium sulfate ; organic phase (CH2Cl2 or C6H6 or C6H5CH3)), using a catalytic amount of the cheap, easy to handle iron pentacarbonyl under carbon monoxide atmosphere.
IRON PENTACARBONYL MEDIATED COUPLING OF BENZYL HALIDES TO KETONES UNDER MILD PHASE TRANSFER CONDITIONS.

In a two-phase system (saturated aqueous calcium hydroxide, tetrabutylammonium sulfate, dichloromethane, iron pentacarbonyl) benzyl bromides are readily carbonylated to dibenzyl ketones ; α-α' dibromoorthoxylene yields the o-quinodimethane iron tricarbonyl cmplex 8.It is inferred that the reactions proceed through transient generation of the tetracarbonyl ferrate dianion.
