We describe here the design of a palladium catalyzed route to generate aryl ketones <i>via</i> the carbonylative coupling of (hetero)arenes and aryl- or vinyl-triflates. In this, the use of the large bite angle Xantphos ligand on palladium provides a unique avenue to balance the activation of the relatively strong C(sp<sup>2</sup>)-OTf bond with the ultimate elimination of a new class of potent Friedel-Crafts acylating agent: <i>N</i>-acyl pyridinium salts. The latter can be exploited to modulat ...[more]
