Abstract: Novel combined PdCl2(RuCl3) with ZrO2-SO3 catalysts were developed for the synthesis of carbamates by oxidative carbonylation of aliphatic and aromatic amines. At 170 ℃ and 4.0 MPa, oxidative carbonylation of aromatic amines to the corresponding carbamates over this catalyst system could be proceeded with a high conversion and selectivity. Especially when β-naphthylamine was used as the substrate, 100% conversion and 95% selectivity were obtained in only 15 min. The catalytic performance of PdCl2/ZrO2-SO3 was better than that of RuCl3/ZrO2-SO3 for such oxidative carbonylation reaction. Possible role of ZrO2-SO3 as co catalyst was also conjectured.
