Bs. Wan et al., Polymer-supported palladium-based bimetallic catalysts for the oxidative carbonylation of aniline, CHEM J CH U, 20(6), 1999, pp. 963-964
Polymer-supported bimetallic catalyst PVP-PdCl2-MnCl2 [PVP = poly(N-vinyl-2
-pyrrolidone] exhibits a high activity and selectivity for the oxidative ca
rbonylation of aniline to carbamate ester under atmospheric pressure[V(CO)/
V(O-2) = 10/1]. A remarkable bimetallic synergic effect in PVP-PdCl2-MXn (M
: second transition metal) gives rise to an obvious increase in the convers
ion and selectivity for the reaction in the presence of a base (NaOAc), Amo
ng the M components tested, Mn-Pd exhibits the strongest synergic effect.
