Bm. Choudary et al., AN EFFICIENT HETEROGENIZED PALLADIUM CATALYTIC-SYSTEM FOR THE REDUCTIVE CARBONYLATION OF NITROBENZENE TO METHYL-N-PHENYLCARBAMATE, Journal of molecular catalysis, 88(1), 1994, pp. 23-30
A highly active and selective heterogenised homogeneous catalyst, mont
morillonitebipyridinepalladium (II) acetate complex for the reductive
carbonylation of nitrobenzene to methyl N-phenylcarbamate is reported.
With the additional advantages such as ease of filterability and reus
ability for several cycles with consistent activity and selectivity, t
he heterogenised system will become practical alternative to the other
systems described earlier.
