A facile method for the amidation of aldehydes by a cascade approach was developed. This methodology, reported for the first time, uses a N-heterocycliccarbene (NHC) as the catalyst, and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) mediated synthesis of amides utilising TBHP as the oxidant. Various substituted aldehydes reacted smoothly with NHS giving the corresponding active esters in moderate to good yields, which

We describe a new approach to acid chloride synthesis via the palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl iodides. The combination of sterically encumbered phosphines ((PBu3)-Bu-t) and CO coordination has been found to facilitate the rapid carbonylation of aryl iodides into acid chlorides via reductive elimination from ((Bu3P)-Bu-t)(CO)Pd(COAr)Cl. The formation of acid chlorides can also be exploited to perform traditional aminocarbonylation reactions under exceptionally mild conditions (ambient temperature and pressure), and with a range of weakly nucleophilic substrates.
