tricyclopropylbismuth is reported. The reaction is catalyzed by (SIPr) Pd (allyl) Cl, a NHC-
palladium (II) catalyst, operates under 1 atm of carbon monoxide and tolerates a wide range
of functional groups. The use of lithium chloride was found to provide higher yields of the
desired aryl cyclopropylketones. The conditions were also applied to the carbonylative cross-
coupling of an iodoalkene to afford the corresponding alkenyl cyclopropylketone.
