Mechanism of methoxycarbonylation of 1,5-naphthalene diamino with dimethyl carbonate to 1,5-naphthalene dicarbamate over anhydrous zinc acetate
The FT-IR characterization showed that anhydrous zinc acetate hardly interacted with dimethyl carbonate, but it could coordinate with 1,5-naphthalene diamino to form a new complex. As a result, a new mechanism on 1,5-naphthalene diamino activation was proposed for the methoxycarbonylation of 1,5-naphthalene diamino with dimethyl carbonate over anhydrous zinc acetate.
