A protocol has been developed for conducting the palladium-catalyzed reductive carbonylation of aryl iodides and bromides using 9-methylfluorene-9-carbonyl chloride (COgen) as a source of externally delivered carbon monoxide in a sealed two-chamber system (COware), and potassium formate as the in situ hydride source. The method is tolerant to a wide number Of functional groups positioned on the aromatic ring, and it can be exploited for the isotope labeling of the aldehyde group. Hence, reductive carbonylations run with (13)COgen provide a facile access to C-13-labeled aromatic aldehydes, whereas with DCO2K, the aldehyde is specifically labeled with deuterium. Two examples of double isotopic labeling are also demonstrated. Finally, the method was applied to the specific carbon-13 labeling of the beta-amyloid binding compound, florbetaben.

Aryl iodides and bromides were easily converted to their corresponding aromatic carboxylic acids via a Pd-catalyzed carbonylation reaction using silacarboxylic acids as an in situ source of carbon monoxide. The reaction conditions were compatible with a wide range of functional groups, and with the aryl iodides, the carbonylation was complete within minutes. The method was adapted to the double and selective isotope labeling of tamibarotene.
Acid-promoted Cascade Cyclization to Produce Fused-polycyclic Indole Derivatives
An acid-promoted novel cascade cyclization is described. Using 8 equiv of trifluoroacetic acid or a catalytic amount of Lewis acid as the promoter, structurally diverse polycyclic cyclopenta[b]indoles were obtained in moderate to excellent yield. This cascade process was extremely effective for the synthesis of 8-membered ring-fused cyclopenta[b]indole derivatives.
