Abstract
The catalytic carbonylation reactions of α-haloketones in the presence of palladium compounds were studied. Chloroketones were selectively converted into β-ketoesters, whereas bromoacetophenone was partially reduced to acetophenone. The reaction rate at atmospheric pressure was much lower than that at an elevated pressure. A reaction mechanism was proposed.
