Abstract

Various arylamines were converted to arenecarboxylic acids in good yields via their diazonium tetrafluoroborates by reaction with carbon monoxide (9 kg/cm2) in the presence of a palladium (0) catalyst and sodium acetate. Evidence is presented which supports the idea that mixed anhydrides are initial products in the carboxylation.
