Palladium‐Catalyzed Reductive Carbonylation: An Efficient Route to Synthesize Isatoic Anhydrides from CO2

An efficient method for synthesizing isatoic anhydride derivatives from easily accessible 2‐iodoanilines and CO2 has been developed, which utilizes palladium‐catalyzed reductive carbonylation. A variety of 2‐iodoanilines can be transformed into isatoic anhydrides with good yields. This method shows excellent compatibility with functional groups and utilizes easily accessible starting materials.
