Question

Shall I know the best solid catalyst for Carboxymethylation reaction? Is Palladium is suitable? Or in group Viii metal which is suitable one?

Please suggest me more journal/article for my reference for the above question??

Answer 1

Bull. Inst. Chem. Res., Kyoto Univ., Vol. 61, No. 4, 1983 Kinetic Study of the Carboxymethylation of Aryl Iodides catalyzed by Palladium-Triphenylphosphine Complexes; Kenji INAMASAK, iyoshi KUDOa and Nobuyuki SUGITA* ReceivJeudl y 11,1 983

Carboxymethylation reactions of aryl iodides were carried out at $35^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ under the constant CO pressure (Pco) using PdC12(PPh3)2 as a catalyst precursor and triethylamine as a base. Methanol and triethylamine were used in such excess that their concentrations would be invariable throughout the reaction. Benzene was added to dissolve aryl iodides. The ratio of methanol, triethylamine and benzene was $10:1:10$ (vol.).
