Abstract

Lead halophenoxides, especially bromophenoxides, are prepared by the reaction of lead(II) oxides with a hydroxyaromatic compound such as phenol and a chloride or bromide salt such as an alkali metal bromide, a tetraalkylammonium bromide or a bexaalkylguanidinium bromide. They are useful in catalyst compositions for the oxidative carbonylation of hydroxyaromatic compounds to diaryl carbonates.
