The palladium-catalyzed synthesis of diphenyl carbonate from phenol, carbon monoxide, and oxygen

摘要: Abstract Diphenyl carbonate was obtained from the reaction of carbon monoxide, phenol, and oxygen using catalytic quantities palladium, a tertiary amine, an oxidation cocatalyst at room temperature atmospheric pressure. A variety copper, vanadium, cobalt, manganese salts were effective cocatalysts, although in many cases side products produced. Using salts, up to 100 mol diphenylcarbonate per palladium realized.
