Tetra- N -butylammonium iodide (TBAI) catalyzed carbonylation–benzylation of unactivated benzyl chlorides with potassium aryltrifluoroborates using CO gas has been developed. This reaction is transition-metal free, is carried out under ambient pressure, and provides a wide range of 1,2,3-triarylpropan-1-one derivatives in high yields. The novel method represents a significant improvement over the traditional palladium-catalyzed carbonylation.
