in an open system.

The researcher from the Newcastle University (UK) carried out experiments on the phenylacetylene carbonylation in a large-volume reactor (450 ml) HEL SIMULARTM in a flow system [21]. The reactor was a one-liter glass vessel fitted with a jacket (Fig.19). Stirring was carried out with a mechanical stirrer; the system of the high-precision temperature control includeddevice an external cooling system and an electric heater placed inside the reactor. The reactor was equipped with a gas speed controller, a temperature sensor (Pt 100) and a pH electrode. The pressure of the gas mixture was atmospheric. All reagents were purchased from Sigma Aldrich and used without further purification. In experiments, air was used instead of oxygen. The results of oscillatory experiments were published in [21-24]

S2.The composition of the initial and reaction mixture of gases was analyzed by gas-adsorption chromatography with a 3-m packed columns (3 mm in diameter) filled with activated carbon AG-3 (air, CO, CO2, separation temperature-1600C) and molecular sieves 13 X (O2, N2, CO, separation temperature - 400C). In both cases, 0.25–0.5-mm fractionwas used,thermal conductivity detector, and argon as a carrier gas.

Concentrations in the contact solution of phenylacetylene and carbonylation products were analized by the method of GLC with a 3-m packing columns(3 mm in diameter), filled with "Poropak-P" and 10% “Apiezon-L” on inertone, respectively, fraction 0.25 - 0.3 mm. The separation conditions were the same: thermal conductivity detector, the carrier gas was helium, and the separation temperature - 230° C.

The process was carried out at atmospheric pressure of CO-O2mixture (3: 2 by volume). Part of the carbon monoxide during the reaction is oxidized to CO2. The products obtained in the oxidative carbonylation of phenylacetylene were identified by the chromato-mass spectrometry. Products of the reactions were analyzed by GC “Agilent Technology” (USA), supplied by mass - detector (capillary column HS-50; diameter of a column - 0, 32 mm; thickness of a phase layer - 0,32 microns; a phase – polymethylsiloxan with a layer thickness of 0.52 μm).The temperature of the evaporator was 1500C, the column temperature was programmed: for 5 minutes it was maintained at T = 500C, then for 12 minutes the temperature was raised at a speed of 150C/min to T = 2300C, then this temperature was maintained for 5 more minutes.

*) MI is the iodide used in the experiment; RON is a solvent.

From the data of Table 1 it can be seen that most of iodide - alcohol combinations are characterized by a lower pH than in standard experiment and the lack of oscillations. The nature of the cation (Rb+, Cs+, NH4+, K+) added with the iodide ion generally has a smallinfluence on the oxidative carbonylation of phenylacetylene in the oscillation regime.

S7. The preliminary mechanism for oxidative PhA carbonylation to phenylmaleic anhydride (3):

(3)

This mechanism can be presented in a generalized form as follows (4):

(4)

This mechanism is based on the hypothesis of the activity of Pd (I) compounds. There are stages in it that are nonlinear, and this is a necessary condition for the realization of the oscillatory regime. Moreover, you can seein the generalized scheme, there are the interactionof the reaction intermediatesby the type of negative feedbackin the proposed mechanism. Therefore, we believe that this mechanism could serve very well as a starting point for modeling of the oscillations in this system.
