“…Since the discovery of the aminocarbonylation by Heck et al (“Heck-carbonylation”) [ 23 , 24 , 25 ], the use of a primary or secondary amine, carbon monoxide, and aryl/alkenyl halides (or their synthetic surrogates, aryl triflates, and alkenyl triflates) in the presence of palladium catalysts leads to carboxamides in great variety [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ]. Several α,β-unsaturated carboxamides and aryl carboxamides, using palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation as a key reaction, were recently synthesized in our laboratory [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ]. Just to illustrate the most recent developments, the functionalization of aromatic N -heterocycles in aminocarbonylation should be mentioned [ 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ].…”
