Comments
Synthesis: In this palladium-catalysed gas-free aminocarbonylation of aryl bromides and iodides the commercially available molybdenum hexacarbonyl served as a convenient and solid carbon monoxide source under air. Different solvents, bases and Pd-precatalysts were tested. The best conditions were obtained using DBU as a base and THF as solvent which made it possible to get even sluggish anilines, hindered tert-butylamine and free amino acids to react.

All reactants were mixed in a process vial which was immediately capped and irradiated with microwaves. The carbon monoxide release starts immediately on the addition of DBU.

Work-up and purification: After complete conversion and cooling, the reaction mixture was filtered through a short celite pad and the solvent, excess DBU and, if possible, excess amine were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (0-1% MeOH in CHCl3) to give the product as a white solid in 92% yield (>95% purity, GC/MS or 1H NMR).

Analysis and characterisation: 1H NMR, 13C NMR, GC/MS.
