A practical and convenient palladium‐catalyzed carbonylative Suzuki coupling of aryl halides under CO gas‐free conditions has been developed. For the first time, formic acid has been employed as the CO source with acetic anhydride as the activator. In their Full Paper on page 17650 ff. , X.‐F. Wu and co‐workers describe the preparation of a variety of diarylketones in moderate to excellent yields from the corresponding aryl halides and arylboronic acids.
