High-Yielding Synthesis of Weinreb Amides via Homogeneous Catalytic Carbon-ylation of Iodoalkenes and Iodoarenes. — Phosphine/palladium ratio has to be 2/1 since one equivalent of phosphine acts as a reductant of Pd(II) to Pd(0) and the other one is coordinating. Mostly high pressure of CO is required to achieve high yields of the products. In the case of (VII) an unexpected product (VIII). It is crucial to use a flame-dried apparatus to avoid hydrolysis. Heterocyclic compounds (IX), (X), (XI) fail to react. — (TAKACS, A.; PETZ, A.; KOLLAR*, L.; Tetrahedron 66 (2010) 25, 4479-4483, DOI:10.1016/j.tet.2010.04.076 ; Dep. Inorg.
