Abstract
The high yielding synthesis of symmetrical carboxylic anhydrides from acid chlorides mediated by zinc dust in the presence of dimethylformamide is presented. A mechanism involving the reductive insertion of zinc(0) into the C–Cl bond of a Vilsmeier-type iminium intermediate as the crucial step is also proposed.
