Abstract
Methyl N-phenylcarbamate has been synthesized by reductive carbonylati on of nitrobenzene. Homogeneous catalytic systems based on palladium a nd silver salts, 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and p-toluensulfonic acid (PTS) were found highly active and selective yielding nitrobenzene con version up to 96%. The effect of Ag/Pd molar ratio has been studied. C opper (II) and mercury (II) acetates as cocatalysts in palladium based bimetallic systems also behaved satisfactorily.
