โฆ Synopsis
Alkyl vinyl and aromatic bromides react with organoborates and carbon monoxide, in asence of Catalytic quantities of 1,5-hexadienerhodium(1) chloride dimer and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(O),to give carboxylic esters in good yields. Recently, we reported the first examples of metal catalysis of a borate ester reaction. Benzylic bromides react with borate esters and carbon monoxide, in the presence of 1,5-hexadienerhodium(1) chloride dimer[l,S-HDRhCl]B, to give esters in excellent yields. Unfortunately, no reaction occurred with less activated bromides, such as 1-bromonaphthalene or I-bromooctane. This lack of reactivity might be due to the possibility that complex 2, obtained by reaction of 3ArCH2Br + B(OR')3 + 3C0 [1,5-HDRhC112
