Described herein is the development of a visible-light-driven carbonylation of alkyl halides. The exploitation of visible light to activate Pd complexes and the use of formates to serve the dual role of a CO surrogate and a phenoxide source allow the preparation of esters in moderate to good yields. Its relatively mild reaction conditions and the ability to perform this transformation without direct handling of toxic CO gas provide a practical means to access esters from alkyl halides. ...[more]
