✦ Synopsis

Aryl iodides, vinyl bromides and tricarbonyl(chloroarene)chromium complexes react under mild conditions with sodium alkoxides and alkyl formates as source of carbon monoxide in the presence of dichlorobis(&iphenylphosphine)palladium as catalyst to give the corresponding carboxylic esters in high yields.
