Application Note 19 – Ethoxycarbonylation of Iodotoluene with CO Gas

This example illustrates the use of the new Vapourtec tube in tube gas reactor combined with the Vapourtec R-Series system to react reagent gases under pressure without the use of scale limiting pressure reactors (e.g. Parr ‘bombs’). Here we describe the catalytic ethoxycarbonylation of iodotoluene with CO gas.
