DIRECT SYNTHESIS OF ORGANIC CARBONATES BY OXIDATIVE CARBONYLATION OVER SCHIFF BASE PALLADIUM COMPLEXES CATALYST

摘要

Organic carbonates are plausible synthetic targets from the viewpoint of green sustainable chemistry for their low toxicity, non-corrosivity and biodegradability. In addition, carbonates have been widely used as starting materials of polycarbonate resins, electrolytes of lithium ion battery, alkylating and carbonylating reagents, and inert solvents . Moreover, they are expected to be fuel additives in the future.
