Pd/C catalyzed phenoxycarbonylation using N-formylsaccharin as a CO surrogate in propylene carbonate, a sustainable solvent

Abstract

Recyclable and commercially available Pd/C catalyzes the phenoxycarbonylation reaction using<italic>N</italic>-formylsaccharin as a CO surrogate in propylene carbonate as an environmentally benign and sustainable polar aprotic solvent under co-catalyst free, ligand free and additive free conditions.
