Methods for obtaining carboxylic acids and esters by reactions with carbon monoxide under atmospheric pressure on transition-metal catalysts are reviewed. The catalysts are classified according to the metal from which they are derived. 1. Reactions Using Nickel-based Catalysts 1.1. Acetylenic and Olefinic Substrates 1.2. Allyl Halides 1.3. Benzyl Halides 1.4. Vinyl Halides 1.5. Aryl Halides 2. Reactions Using Cobalt-based Catalysts 2.1. Acetylenic and Olefinic Substrates 2.2. Alkyl Halides 3. Reactions Using Palladium-based Catalysts 3.1. Acetylenic Substrates 3.2. Olefinic Substrates 3.3. Allyl Halides 3.4. Organomercury Halides 4. Reactions Using Rhodium- and Ruthenium-based Catalysts
