Iodoketone 6A was prepared in 80% yield from (3-chloro-2-pyrazinyl)phenylmethanone [35] by halogen exchange with NaI in acetonitrile. The three component coupling reaction of pyrazinyl ketone 1A, carbene complex 2 and N

The three component coupling reaction of o-alkynyl quinoxaline carbonyl derivative 1C, carbene complex 2 and N-phenylmaleimide/N-methylmaleimide was also examined (Table 1, entry 3 & 4). In these cases, tandem generation and trapping

• pressurized carbon monoxide gas. Good to excellent yields of carbonylated products were obtained via radical formylation, carbonylative cyclization and three-component coupling reactions, using tributyltin hydride or TTMSS as a radical mediator.

• able to obtain the desired six-membered ring lactam 8 in good yield (entry 4). Using a similar microflow system, we then carried out a three-component coupling reaction comprised of 1-iodooctane (9), CO, and methyl vinyl ketone in the presence of tributyltin hydride [24], which also worked well to give

• acyl radical traps (entries 6 and 7 ). Gratifyingly, in both cases, good yields of the three-component coupling products were formed by using reduced CO pressure. Conclusion We have developed a facile platform to conduct radical carbonylation under CO pressure in a flow system comprised of a T-shaped

The major feature of this method is that it is truly a one-pot protocol that does not need a separate
