Molybdenum-Mediated Carbonylation of Aryl Halides with Nucleophiles Using Microwave Irradiation

Abstract

A new, efficient, and practical molybdenum-mediated carbonylation of aryl and heteroaryl halides with a variety of nucleophiles is described using microwave irradiation. A range of reactions illustrating the wide scope of this chemistry were carried out and proceeded in good to excellent yields.
