title: Oxalyl chloride as a practical carbon monoxide source for carbonylation reactions.
abstract: A method for generation of high-quality carbon monoxide by decomposition of oxalyl chloride in an aqueous hydroxide solution is described. The usefulness of the method is demonstrated in the synthesis of heterocycles and for hydroxy-, alkoxy-, amino-, and reductive carbonylation reactions, in several cases under milder conditions than previously reported.
