“…The oxidative coupling reaction of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) under oxyen pressure in the presence of palladium acetate is another well-known method. 12,13 Other notable methods to accomplish this include the coupling reaction of terephthaloyl chloride, 14,15 the electrolytic oxidative coupling reaction, 16,17 the coupling reaction of 4-(chlorocarbonyl) phthalic acid, 18 etc. 19,20 Although these methods are suitable for certain synthetic conditions sometimes, however, some of these procedures are invariably associated with one or more disadvantages such as high cost, long reaction time, low yield, use of stoichiometric and even excess amounts of reagents or catalysts, special apparatus, etc.…”
