Abstract
α-Pehnylethyl bromide, ethyl α-bromopropionate, and α-phenylpropyl bromide were smoothly converted to the corresponding methyl ketones by treatment with carbon monoxide and palladium complex catalysts in the presence of tetramethyltin. This is the first case of successful carbonylation of organic halides having β-hydrogens. Triphenylarsine was found to be a better ligand than triphenylphosphine to promote carbonylation.
