27 Years of Catalytic Carbonylative Coupling Reactions in Hungary (1994-2021).

Palladium-catalyzed carbonylation reactions, in the presence of nucleophiles, serve as very potent tools for the conversion of aryl and alkenyl halides or halide equivalents to carboxylic acid derivatives or to other carbonyl compounds. There are a vast number of applications for the synthesis of simple building blocks as well as for the functionalization of biologically important skeletons. This review covers the history of carbonylative coupling reactions in Hungary between the years 1994 and 2021.
