Pd/C-Catalyzed Synthesis of Oxamates by Oxidative Cross Double Carbonylation of Amines and Alcohols under Co-catalyst, Base, Dehydrating Agent, and Ligand-Free Conditions

Abstract

This work reports a mild, efficient, and ligand-free Pd/C-catalyzed protocol for the oxidative cross double carbonylation of amines and alcohols. Notably, the reaction does not requires any base, co-catalyst, dehydrating agent, or ligand. Pd/C solves the problem of catalyst recovery, and the catalyst was recycled up to six times.
