Carbonylation of fluoronitrobenzenes with alcohol or phenol to carbamates over TiO₂ supported Pd-Fe catalyst was studied. Mediated by TiO₂ supported Pd-Fe catalyst, different fluoronitrobenzenes reacted readily with alcohols or phenol and carbon monoxide to afford carbamates under room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The results show that the reaction can proceed well to carbamates in good conversion and high selectivity. Pd and Fe loading, catalyst dosage and reaction temperature affect the conversion and selectivity of carbonylation of fluoronitrobenzene over TiO₂ supported Pd-Fe catalyst. The optimal reaction conditions are that fluoronitrobenzene 0.01 mol, alcohol or phenol 0.01 mol, mass fraction of Pd 0.3%, mass fraction of Fe 0.1%, catalyst dosage 52.6 mg, CH₃CN 10 mL, CO 0.1 MPa, reaction temperature 20 ℃, and reaction time 3～9 h. The catalyst can be easily recovered and reused.
