Butoxycarbonylation of aryl halides catalyzed by a silica-supported poly[3-(2-cyanoethylsulfanyl)propylsiloxane palladium] complex

Abstract

Aryl bromides and iodides react with carbon monoxide and n-butyl alcohol at 100 °C and atmospheric pressure in the presence of tri-n-butylamine and a catalytic amount of a silica-supported sulfur palladium complex to form esters in moderate to good yields.
