Abstract
Abstract Aqueous sodium hydroxide in combination with a phase transfer catalyst was found to be an effective base for the palladium-catalyzed synthesis of diphenyl carbonate from phenol, carbon monoxide, and oxygen. Small quantities of sodium hydroxide with the phase transfer catalyst resulted in reaction rates faster than had been observed previously using a tertiary amine. The effect of anions on reaction rates is also discussed.
