benzamides in water. By using Mo (CO) 6 as the source of carbon monoxide, aminocarbonylations were conducted under air after only 10 min of high-density microwave heating.
Aryl bromides can be rapidly converted to the corresponding secondary and tertiary benzamides in water. By using Mo(CO)6 as the source of carbon monoxide, aminocarbonylations were conducted under air after only 10 min of high-density microwave heating.
