Pd-Catalyzed External-CO-Free Carbonylation: Preparation of 2,4,6-Trichlorophenyl 3,4- Dihydronaphthalene-2-Carboxylate

Palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of organic (pseudo)halides has received much attention because of its versatility for the synthesis of carbonyl-containing compounds. This article discusses the preparation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenyl 3,4-dihydronaphthalene-2-carboxylate using Pd-catalyzed external-CO-free carbonylation. It also discusses the characterization data of 2,4,6-trichlorophenyl 3,4-dihydronaphthalene-2-carboxylate. Keywords: Pd-Catalysis; 2,4,6-Trichlorophenyl formate; 2,4,6-Trichlorophenyl 3,4-dihydronaphthalene-2-carboxylate; 3,4-Dihydronaphthalen-2-yl trifluoromethanesulfonate
