Rhodium-catalysed additive-free carbonylation of benzamides with diethyl dicarbonate as a carbonyl source

Abstract

Phthalimides are prevalent in numerous pharmaceuticals, prompting various phthalimide syntheses through C–H activation. Nevertheless, the necessity for stoichiometric additives limits their practicality and versatility. Herein, we introduced diethyl dicarbonate as a carbonyl source for an additive-free carbonylation of benzamides. This transformation signifies an operationally simple and CO-free phthalimide synthesis.
