A procedure on palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative alkoxycarbonylation of carbonates for the synthesis of aryl 2-arylacetates has been developed. A broad range of aryl 2-arylacetates were obtained in good yields under mild conditions under a carbon monoxide atmosphere. Interestingly, other alcohols can be added as nucleophiles as well, and the corresponding esters were also obtained in good yields
Phenoxycarbonylation of various allylic carbonates under various conditions in tetrahydrofuran in described. The nature and ratio of the products formed are dependent on the presence of water, carbon monoxide pressure and addition of various inorganic halides. The formation of a product arising from dimerization of the allylic carbonate is discussed.
Efficient and convenient palladium-catalyzed alkoxy- and aminocarbonylations of cinnamoyl chloride and aliphatic allyl chlorides to synthesize β,γ-unsaturated esters/amides undermild condition were developed.
