Abstract

By using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as a CO source, the cheap metal nickel-catalyzed carbonylation of arylboronic acids was demonstrated as an efficient and facile protocol for the synthesis of diaryl ketones. Results indicated that NiBr2·diglyme was the best pre-catalyst among the investigated transitional metal salts, and excellent yields were achieved via C–H and C–N bond cleavage.
