Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Nitro compounds are converted by the action of CO into isocyanates on palladium catalysts containing vanadium and molybdenum compounds bypassing the formation and carbonylation azo compounds, apparently as a result of the direct carbonylation of nitrenes.

  2. 2.

    The addition of Ca(VO3)2, A1(VO3)3, Pb(VO3)2, H2MoO4)2MoO4, and CdMoO4 to the PdCl2-pyridine catalytic system promote the carbonylation of nitro compounds and inhibit the conversions of azo compounds by the action of CO.
