The reaction mechanism and rates of methyl acetate carbonylation are not fully understood. In the nickel-cataly2ed reaction, rate constants for formation of methyl acetate from methanol, formation of dimethyl ether, and carbonylation of dimethyl ether have been reported, as well as their sensitivity to partial pressure of the reactants (32). For the rhodium chloride [10049-07-7] cataly2ed reaction, methyl acetate carbonylation is considered to go through formation of ethyUdene diacetate (33) ... 

Methyl a-D-mannopyranoside was treated in succession with p-toluene-sulfonyl chloride, carbonyl chloride, and benzoyl chloride, and, without isolating the intermediates, there was obtained in 37% yield methyl 4-0-l enzoyl-2,3-O-carbony 1-6-0-(p-tolylsulfonyl ) -D-mannoside. The tos-yloxyl group of the latter was replaced by iodine, and hydrogenation of the 6-iodo derivative in the presence of a nickel boride catalyst gave methyl 4-0-benzoyl-2,3-0-carbonyl-6-deoxy- -D-mannoside. Treatment of the latter with hydrogen bromide in acetic acid gave crystalline 4-0-benzoyl-2,3-0-carbonyl-6-deoxy-a-D-mannosyl bromide (8) (16). The... 

Without isolation of the intermediates, methyl a-D-mannopyranoside (38) was treated in succession with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, carbonyl chloride, and benzoyl chloride, giving methyl 4-0-benzoyl-2,3-0-carbonyl-... 

Acetonitrile was used in the mobile phase when ultraviolet detection of the carbonyl group at 205 nm was used for the various dimers. Separation of the thermal dimer of methyl linoleate and the dehydrodimer of methyl oleate was again incomplete. The sample at concentrations as low as those required for UV detection (1-5 mg/ml) was sparingly soluble in the mobile phase, resulting in increased retention times. Finally, incomplete separation was obtained when various systems of acetonitrile/methyl chloride were used as the mobile phase in HPLC with infrared detection of the carbonyl group at 5.72 /xm. 

Carbonyl groups increase the reactivity of adjacent leaving groups towards nucleophilic substitution by several orders of magnitude. This was an effect that we noted in Chapter 17, where we showed that the ketone below reacts by the S>j2 mechanism 5000 times as fast as methyl chloride itself. 

In the initial studies about the reaction of /V.zV-disubstituted formamides with alkaline metals to give glyoxylic amides, the participation of carbamoyl metal derivatives as intermediates was postulated83. The first preparation of the carbamoyllithium 77 was described two years later by a mercury-lithium transmetallation from compound 76 at —75 °C (Scheme 20)84. The authors proposed also an aminocarbene structure 78 and studied its reactivity with methanol, methyl iodide, carbonyl compounds, esters, acyl chlorides, mercury(II) chloride and tri-n-butyltin chloride providing compounds 79. 

Patents on the carbonylation of methyl chloride [74-87-3] using carbon monoxide [630-08-0] in the presence of rhodium, palladium, and ridium complexes, iodo compounds, and phosphonium iodides or phosphine oxides have been obtained (26). In one example the reaction was conducted for 35...

The catalyst system for the modem methyl acetate carbonylation process involves rhodium chloride trihydrate [13569-65-8]y methyl iodide [74-88-4], chromium metal powder, and an alumina support or a nickel carbonyl complex with triphenylphosphine, methyl iodide, and chromium hexacarbonyl (34). The use of nitrogen-heterocyclic complexes and rhodium chloride is disclosed in one European patent (35). In another, the alumina catalyst support is treated with an organosilicon compound having either a terminal organophosphine or similar ligands and rhodium or a similar noble metal (36). Such a catalyst enabled methyl acetate carbonylation at 200°C under about 20 MPa (2900 psi) carbon monoxide, with a space-time yield of 140 g anhydride per g rhodium per hour. Conversion was 42.8% with 97.5% selectivity. A homogeneous catalyst system for methyl acetate carbonylation has also been disclosed (37). A description of another synthesis is given where anhydride conversion is about 30%, with 95% selectivity. The reaction occurs at 445 K under 11 MPa partial pressure of carbon monoxide (37). A process based on a montmorillonite support with nickel chloride coordinated with imidazole has been developed (38). Other related processes for carbonylation to yield anhydride are also available (39,40).

Additions to Electron-deficient Species. Diazomethane will also add to highly electrophilic species such as sulfenes or im-minium salts to give the corresponding three-memheredring heterocycles. When the reaction is performed on sulfenes, the products are episulfones which are intermediates in the Ramherg-Backlund rearrangement, and are therefore precursors for the s)mthesis of alkenes via chelotropic extrusion of SO2. The sulfenes are typically prepared in situ by treatment of a sulfonyl chloride with a mild base, such as Triethylamine (eq 47). Similarly, the addition of diazomethane to imminium salts has been used to methyle-nate carbonyls. In this case, the intermediate aziridinium salt is treated with a strong base, such as Butyllithium, in order to induce elimination (eq 48). 

Dimethylcarbonate (DMC) is a non-toxic, environmentally safe reagent that can be used in organic synthesis as a green substitute for toxic intermediates such as phosgene in carbonylation reactions, and dimethylsulphate (DMS) and methyl chloride in methylation reactions (7).
