The authors report their results concerning the carbonylation of aryl iodides in the presence of various types of metal alkoxides, such as Et/sub 3/SnOMe, Al(OPr)/sub 3/, Mg(OMe)/sub 2/, and NaOMe, as well as in the presence of a tin amide, Me/sub 3/SnNET/sub 2/. In order to determine the optimum conditions for the reaction process, they first investigated the effect of solvent and Pd catalyst on the alkoxycarbonylation of 4-NO/sub 2/C/sub 6/H/sub 4/I. The tin derivative Et/sub 3/SnOMe was used as the nucleophilic reagent. Reaction progress was followed by the disappearance of the starting material and also by the formation of the reaction product, 4-NO/sub 2/C/sub 6/H/sub 4/CO/sub 2/Me. Tin and sodium alkoxides, as well as tin amides, can be used as coreagents in the palladium complex-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl iodides. The use of such powerful nucleophiles as metal alkoxides and amides permits the carbonylation reactions to be carried out under milder conditions and at faster rates than those described in the literature. A mechanism for the alkoxycarbonylation and amidation of aryl halides has been proposed based on results obtained using stoichiometric reactions of palladium complexes.
