Transition‐Metal‐Free Carbonylative Suzuki‐Miyaura Reactions of Aryl Iodides with Arylboronic Acids Using <i>N</i>‐Formylsaccharin as CO Surrogate

Abstract

Abstract Unprecedented, high yielding, transition‐metal‐free carbonylative Suzuki‐Miyaura reactions of aryl iodides with arylboronic acids using N ‐formylsaccharin as CO surrogate have been developed. Notably, this general protocol was adapted to the synthesis of the triglyceride and cholesterol regulator drug, fenofibrate, and carbon‐13 labeled biaryl ketone. magnified image
