Product identification and distribution from the oscillatory versus non-oscillatory palladium(II) iodide-catalysed oxidative carbonylation of phenylacetylene
The oxidative carborylation of phenylacetylene was studied in order to determine the production distribution and reaction conditions which result in oscillatory versus non-oscillatory behaviour. Unambiguous identification of the products and their distribution was undertaken, after which, it was found that reaction conditions which result in oscillatory behaviour produce high conversions, and more selective product distribution.
