Palladium‐Catalyzed Carbonylative Synthesis of Aryl Formates under Mild Conditions

Abstract

Abstract Aryl formates have been extensively applied as CO sources in CO‐free carbonylation reactions. However, there are no catalytic synthetic procedures for their preparation. In this manuscript, we developed a convenient palladium‐catalyzed procedure for the synthesis of aryl formates. Good yields were achieved under mild reaction conditions with formic acid as the formyl source.
