The role of silver carbonate as a catalyst in the synthesis of N-phenylbenzamide from benzoic acid and phenyl isocyanate: a mechanistic exploration
Yang Yang, Benjamin Spyrou, Paul S. Donnelly, Allan J. Canty, Richard A. J. O’Hair While gas-phase studies suggest that both silver-mediated extrusion-insertion (ExIn) and base-mediated condensation reactions operate for the generation of N-phenyl-benzamide anion from the benzoate anion, the condensation reaction is favoured in the solution phase.
