AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the synthesis methods of methyl phenylcarbamate have problems such as high catalyst cost, poor stability, environmental unfriendliness and low MPC yield. In particular, heterogeneous catalysts have low selectivity and are easy to deactivate, and the efficient alcoholysis process of mixed urea is not yet mature.
Heterogeneous catalysts using specific supports and transition metal salt combinations are prepared by reacting mixed urea with methanol to produce highly active and stable catalysts. These catalysts include alumina, silica, or magnesium oxide as supports, and chlorides or nitrates of transition metal salts such as Ce, Zr, Zn, Mn, Ti, Ni, or Co, combined with precipitants such as urea. After calcination, these catalysts are applied to the synthesis of mixed urea.
A high conversion rate (>98.5%) and high yield (>98%) of mixed urea to synthesize methyl phenylcarbamate was achieved. The catalyst has good stability and is suitable for highly selective synthesis. Furthermore, the stability and service life of the catalyst were improved through specific combinations.
