Chemical transformations that result in either the formation or cleavage of carbon–
heteroatom bonds are among the most important processes in the chemical sciences …

We present a review concerning the mechanism involved in the hydroxycarbonylation of
styrene. We discuss the intermediates proposed in the literature, the effect of the acidic …

A mechanism, which is distinct from the traditional one when sodium alkoxide was used
instead of tertiary amines, was proposed for the alkoxycarbonylation of aryl iodides. The …
