• 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.

• CO and the liquid. Using the microflow system depicted by Figure 1, we carried out the radical formylation of 1-bromododecane (1) with CO in the presence of tributyltin hydride (bath temp. 80 °C) [21]. However, we encountered incomplete conversion of the starting bromide when we used AIBN (2,2
