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