Palladium‐Catalyzed Carbonylative CH Activation of Heteroarenes

Abstract

Not only carbonylation: The first carbonylative cross-coupling reactions towards ketones using CH activation have been developed. Various heteroarenes, such as oxazoles, thiazoles, and imidazoles were used as coupling partners in this methodology.
