Conclusions

  1. 1.

    In the synthesis of phenyl isocyanate by nitrobenzene carbonylation, when transition-metal oxides are replaced by their chlorides, inhibition by the Co compound is reduced, activation by the Mo and V compounds is retained, and the Fe, Cr, and Cu compounds become activators.

     
  2. 2.

    Carbonylation of nitrobenzene to phenyl isocyanate can be carried out in an aliphatic hydrocarbon medium or in a hexane- chlorobenzene mixture. Nitriles and aliphatic halohydrocarbons inhibit the process.
