The kinetic and thermodynamic influence of Lewis acids on migratory insertion reactions has been repeatedly demonstrated in <i>stoichiometric</i> cases, yet few examples have yet provided compelling examples of the benefit of Lewis acid additives to <i>catalytic</i> reactions of CO. This study aims to examine the role of Lewis acids on Pd-catalyzed carbonylation reactions.
