Abstract

Abstract The catalytic alkoxycarbonylation of 1, 2-diols by (neocuproine) palladium (II) acetate (neocuproine= 2, 9-dimethyl-1, 10-phenanthroline) or palladium (II) acetate/(−)- sparteine using N-chlorosuccinimide as the oxidant affords cyclic carbonates. The oxidative carbonylation of diols proceeds under mild conditions, requiring only 1 atm of carbon monoxide, and produces cyclic carbonates in moderate to good yields. Both 1, 2-and 1, 3- ...
