        Synthesis of anilides is analogous to that of Oxo synthesis.  As in Oxo synthesis and syntheses of esters HCo(CO)₄ may be the actual catalyst of the reaction of unsaturated compounds, CO, and aniline.  For a given temperature and pressure, the rate of absorption of CO in the formation of anilides is intermediate between that for Oxo synthesis and that for the synthesis of esters.
