to phenyl acetic acid. 2 Examination of the literature showed that carbonylation of benzyltrialkylammonium halides might take place under certain conditions. Thus, Alper et al. 6 have demonstrated the stoechiometric car-bonylation of such benzylammonium halides by acetylcobalt tetracarbonyl generated from CH3I and Co (CO) 4" under PTC conditions. These authors suspected the in-tervention of benzyl radicals during these reactions. 6 This suggestion as well as our observations (vide supra) led uo to conjecture that the photostimulated SrnI con-ditions1, 2 might be convenient for performing catalytic carbonylation of benzyltrialkylammonium halides. As we show below, this expectation has been completely verified, and we present here the first catalytic carbonylation of benzyl-(and allyl-) triethylammonium salts. First of all, control experiments performed on benzyl-triethylammonium chloride indicated that in the absence of irradiation, only traces of phenylacetic acid were formed (65 C, 24 h). This result confirms literature data6 but shows that such ammonium salts are not completelyinert toward Co (CO) 4-underPTC conditions. In any case, photostimulation appeared essential for performing the carbonylation of benzyltriethylammonium halides. Results obtained with some representative ammonium salts have been reported in Table I. As may be seen, these reactions may be performed in either of the conditions A or B (for definition, see footnote a of the Table) and afford the corresponding acids in 75-85% yield. As expected, nitrile groups on the aromatic ring were transformed into carboxylic functions due to the hydrolyzing conditions used. Benzylammonium salts bearing a halogen (Br or Cl) on the aromatic nucleus were carbonylated to diacids as expected from our result on the carbonylation of (p-chlorophenyl) acetic acid. 1
