Abstract
Abstract The oxidative addition of benzyl chloride or bromide to tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)nickel(O) followed by carbonylation and the addition of methanol yielded methyl phenylacetate. When (R)-α-D benzyl chloride was subjected to this reaction sequence, racemic ester was obtained, probably as a result of racemization in the oxidative, addition step.
