Abstract

Transition metal-catalyzed oxidative carbonylation of amines 12,13 provides an alternative to phosgene and phosgene derivatives. Many metals including Pd, Ru, Rh, Au, Co, Ni and W have been employed as catalysts in the carbonylation reaction. 12,13 However, there are also problems with metal catalysts including the expense of noble metal complexes and the possibility of heavy metal contamination in the products. Sulfur 14–16 and selenium 17–19 catalyzed ...
