Carbonylation . A palladium‐catalyzed carbonylative Sonogashira coupling with formic acid as the CO source has been developed by Xiao‐Feng Wu et al. in their Communication on page 1870, which is featured on the Inside Cover. Using aryl iodides and terminal alkynes as the substrates, and acid anhydride as the additive, the corresponding alkynones were isolated in moderate‐to‐good yields. Good functional group tolerance can be observed as well. Compared with the known procedures, one of the most obvious advantages of this method is easy operation.
