The carbonylative reactions of aryl halides, boronic acids, amines, activated alkene and alkynes under CO and supported palladium catalyzed conditions are very popular reactions for the synthesis of bioactive molecules, pharmaceuticals, polymers, peptides, intermediates and fine chemicals synthesis. Due to cost effectiveness and easy handling of recyclable supported palladium catalyst, it became more popular among researchers either working in academic institute or industry. In recent years, irrespective of poisoning effect of CO with palladium as major limitation, several advancements have been done through surface selection, designing and condition improvement to achieve high yield in the area of carbonylative coupling reactions. We hope this review will be helpful as a ready reference of last 20 years in the field of CO insertion reactions using diverse range of supported palladium catalysts under carbon monoxide or its sources as C1 source.
