| Research Abstract |
Diphenyl carbonate (DPC) is the essential material for the polycarbonate manufacture in the current chemical industry. DPC is usually produced using deadly poisonous phosgene but a new and phosgene-free method has been developed in this study. Oxidative carbonylation with oxygen can’t use for the DPC synthesis because of highly hydrolysis of DPC. Electrocarbonylation of phenol to DPC was found using a new Pd electrocatalyst. and the reaction mechanism was revealed.
