Abstract

A fast and efficient synthesis of the production benzophenone by palladium(II)-catalysed desulfitative reaction from benzenesulfinic acid and benzonitrile has been developed experimentally by the following equation. In this work, the reaction mechanism has been studied with the help of density functional theory calculations and the whole process of the reaction was elucidated in detail. The results show that the acetate present in the catalyst was found to directly participate in the reaction and the additive H2SO4 plays an important role in promoting the catalytic reaction.
