Pd(PhCN)2Cl2 [bis(benzonitrile)dichloropalladium] were investigated in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a polymer support for the direct synthesis of diphenyl carbonate (DPC) by the oxidative carbonylation of phenol using carbon monoxide (CO) and air. Pd(PhCN)2Cl2 was found to be more efficient than the conventional PdBr2 system, and its efficiency was accelerated in the presence of high molecular weight PVP with Mw=360,000 and 1,300,000. The best efficiency of Pd(PhCN)2Cl2/Mn(TMHD)3 [tris(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato)manganese]/(Ph3P)2NBr [bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium bromide] system was obtained by using 0.241 mmol of PVP with Mw=360,000 where TOF (turnover frequency) reached 11.31 (mol-DPC/mol-Pd h, Pd/Mn/Br/phenol=1/2/20/2667; CO 0.50 MPa; air 0.25 MPa, 100°C, 3 h). |
