OXIDATIVE ETHOXYCARBONYLATION OF ANILINE TO ETHYL PHENYLCARBAMATE CATALYZED BY SILICA- SUPPORTED POLY-γ-AMINOPROPYLSILOXANEMETAL COMPLEXES

Several silica-supported poly-γ-aminopropylsiloxane-monometal and bimetal complexes (Si-NH_2-M,M = Cu or Co ; Si-NH_2-Cu-M', M' =Co, Sn, Mn, Ni or Fe) have been prepared. Their catalytic properties for oxidative ethoxycarbonylation of aniline to ethyl phenylcarbamate have been investigated.The catalytic reaction was carried out under relatively mild conditions. The catalyst Si-NH_2-Cu-CO had high activity and selectivity, and the turn-over number (molar of aniline converted/molar of metal in Si-NH_2-Cu-CO added) could amount to 450 under the conditions: 150℃ , 4 MPa (CO/O_2 =3) and 40 hours.The results of XPS and IR indicated that the coordination bonds were formed between nitrogen and metals in Si-NH2-Cu, Si-NH_2-Co and Si-NH_2-Cu-Co, and the coordination pattern was not single. In the oxidative ethoxycarbonylation of aniline to ethyl phenylcarbamate, the catalytic property of Si-NH_2-Cu-CO bimetallic complex was better than Si-NH_2-Cu or Si-NH_2-Co monometatlic complex. This indicated that there as synergistic action between different metals in the bimetallic complex.

Synthesis of ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate by orthogonal design

Using Schiff base as a phase transfer catalyst, ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate was synthesized by reacting ethyl chloroformate with sodium thiocyanate. In order to get the best synthetic technology, an orthogonal test （L9（34）） was applied. The results show that reaction temperature, reaction time, content of catalyst and molar ratio of sodium thiocyanate to ethyl chloroformate are the main factors influencing the yield. The four factors chosen for the present investigation are based on the results of a single-factor test. The optimum synthetic technology is determined as follows： reaction temperature 35 ℃, reaction time 3 h, the content of catalyst （molar fraction based on ethyl chloroformate） 1.5% and molar ratio of sodium thiocyanate to ethyl chloroformate 1.1. Under the optimized synthetic technology, the experimental yield reaches 96.8%.
