Abstract

Abstract α-Ketoacids can be easily synthesized with satisfactory yields and selectivities by carbonylation of aryl halides and secondary benzyl halides under very mild conditions. The reactions are catalyzed by Co 2 (CO) 8 in alcoholic solvents; the presence of a methyl source (dimethyl sulfate or methyl iodide) is necessary for the carbonylation of the aryl halides. Base, temperature and solvent have large effects on the course of the reaction.
