ABSTRACT

A robust palladium-catalyzed hydroxycarbonylation of aryl halides on DNA has been developed. Instead of Mo(CO)6 as a source of carbon monoxide as previously described in the literature, chloroform was used as a surrogate in this report for the purpose of avoiding to use a large excess of molybdenum reagent which is not totally soluble in aqueous reaction mixtures.
