Embodiment 1

[0028] As disclosed in the aforementioned U.S. Patent No. 5,399,734, in a reactor system with a certain gas flow composition, 58.8837 grams of phenol (626 mmoles), 0.0055 grams of Pd(acac) were added 2 (0.018 mmol), 0.2067 g of PbO (0.927 mmol), 3.1982 g of hexaethylguanidinium bromide (10.4 mmol) and 38 g of molecular sieves (activated by drying) to produce 52 equivalents of lead per equivalent of palladium and 52 equivalents per equivalent of palladium Palladium 578 Equivalent Bromide Source Reaction Composition. The reactor was closed and heated to 100°C with stirring and a mixture of 9.1% oxygen in carbon monoxide was fed at a flow rate of 330 ml / min at a pressure of about 1320 psig. The gas flow was continued for 1.5 hours, after which a sample of the reaction mixture was taken for HPLC analysis. The yield of diphenyl carbonate was 16.6 g (27% by weight). The reaction rate for 1.5 hours was 0.84 moles of diphenyl carbonate per liter per hour. The palladium conversion n...

Abstract

The present invention relates to an improved process for the production of aromatic carbonates by reacting aromatic hydroxyl compounds, carbon monoxide and oxygen in the presence of a catalyst system comprising at least one palladium or palladium compound, at least one lead compound, at least one halide Source and at least one desiccant, wherein the optimum ratio of lead co-catalyst to palladium catalyst equivalents can increase the reaction rate and also make aromatic carbonates available in an economically viable continuous process.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The present invention relates to the preparation of aromatic carbonates by carbonylation of organic aromatic hydroxyl compounds, such as phenol, in the presence of catalysts. In particular, this invention relates to an improved process for the carbonylation of aromatic hydroxy compounds with a mixture of carbon monoxide and oxygen in the presence of palladium-containing catalysts and lead-containing cocatalysts. [0002] Aromatic carbonates, such as diaryl carbonates, are valuable intermediates for the preparation of polycarbonates by the transesterification of bisphenols in the molten state. The polycarbonate preparation method has environmental advantages over other methods which use phosgene, a poisonous gas, as a reagent and environmentally harmful chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane as a solvent. This preparation requires large amounts of diaryl carbonates. [0003] Various methods have been disclosed for the car...
