Abstract

Various aryl bromides were carbonylated under an atmospheric pressure of carbon monoxide in DMF in the presence of potassium fluoride to give aroyl fluorides in excellent yields. The carbonylation was promoted by the addition of phase transfer catalysts, but the contamination with water reduced the selectivity.
