Liu, Chun published the artcileLow pressure one-pot synthesis of dimethyl carbonate catalyzed by an alkali carbonate, Safety of 2-Methoxypropan-1-ol, the publication is Cuihua Xuebao (2015), 36(7), 1136-1141, database is CAplus.
A mild and efficient protocol for the alkali carbonate-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of di-Me carbonate (DMC) from epoxide, CO2 and methanol was developed. The reaction conditions for the one-pot synthesis of DMC were investigated. Under the optimized conditions of initial pressure 0.5 MPa, 120 degree and catalyst loading of 7.5 mol%, 63.5% yield of DMC was achieved using ethylene oxide as the starting material. A mechanism for the catalysis by the alkali carbonate was proposed.
