Abstract

The palladium(II)-catalyzed carbonylation of alkenes presents one of most efficient methods for the synthesis of alkyl-substituted carbonyls and has received much attention. In this Account, we summarize our recent studies on the palladium-catalyzed intermolecular carbonylation-based 1,2-difunctionalization of alkenes, in which two strategies were involved: (1) a cooperative strategy involves the sequential iodine(III)-mediated alkene activation and palladium-catalyzed carbonylation, leading to the intermolecular β-oxy-, fluoro-, and azidocarbonylation of alkenes; (2) the classic strategy initiated by intermolecular nucleopalladation and carbonylation, including the asymmetric oxycarbonylation of alkenes. These methods provide a series of efficient approaches to synthesize β-functionalized aliphatic carboxylic derivatives.
