Graphical Abstract

Make it green: The Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of allylic alcohols with aliphatic alcohols represents a cost-effective, salt-free, and atom-economic carbonylation process generating water as the sole by-product. Mechanistic studies uncovered a new domino CO coupling/carbonylation reaction pathway.
