Abstract

Abstract: Simple arenes, substituted benzylic and p-phenethyl alcohols, benzoic acid, phenylacetic acid, benzamide, acetanilide, phenylurea, and benzophenone have been thallated under a variety of reaction conditions with thallium (II1) trifluoroacetate and subsequently carbonylated with 10% PdC12, 2 equiv of LiC1, and MgO in either methanol or tetrahydrofuran under 1 atm of carbon monoxide to give aromatic esters, substituted ...
