Photo-Induced Carbonylation of Aryl Bromides for the Synthesis of Aryl Esters and Amides under Transition Metal-Free Conditions

Chem Asian J. 2023 Sep 20:e202300766. doi: 10.1002/asia.202300766. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn this work, we developed a photo-induced carbonylation of aryl bromides under transition metal-free conditions. The reaction shows good activity with alcohol and amine nucleophiles. Various esters and amides were formed from aryl halides and alcohols and amines under mild conditions in moderate to good yields.PMID:37730903 | DOI:10.1002/asia.202300766
