PLATINUM COMPLEX CATALYZED REDUCTIVE N-CARBONYLATION OF NITROARENES TO THE CARBAMATES.

The platinum catalyst combined with triphenylphosphine, tin(IV) chloride, and triethylamine showed high activity for the reductive N-carbonylation of nitroarene in ethanol at 180 degree C under carbon monoxide of 60 kg cm** minus **2. From nitrobenzene, ethyl phenylcarbamate was obtained in 83% yield. Iron(III) chloride, aluminum chloride and titanium(IV) chloride could be used as Lewis acids in place of tin(IV) chloride. Various nitroarenes were transformed into corresponding carbamate in moderate to excellent yields with the platinum catalyst.

Metalloporphyrin-Catalyzed Decomposition of Ethyl Azidoformate

Ethyl azidoformate (2) was thermolyzed in the presence of metalloporphyrins.CoTPP accelerated the decomposition rate of 2 and resulted in the preferential formation of the hydrogen-abstraction product (urethane).On the other hand, NiTPP and CuTPP had no influence on the decomposition behavior of 2.
