Reaction Steps

Example 1 was repeated with 14.1 g of a powdered molybdenum disilicide from H. C. Starck at 140° C. After 2 hours' reaction time, phenol conversion was 8.7%, wherein 4.2 g of phenyl chloroformate and 10.3 g of diphenyl carbonate were formed. Selectivity for carbonates was approximately 95%.
