    General description

    Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is a versatile, non-toxic, biodegradable reagent with tunable chemical reactivity. It serves as a green alternative to dimethyl sulfate or methyl halides and phosgene for methylation and carboxylation reactions. The base-catalyzed reaction between carbon dioxide and methanol to form DMC has been studied. Various thermodynamic parameters of DMC have been reported.

    Application

    Dimethyl carbonate may be used to synthesize:
    • Methyl phenyl carbonate by transesterification with phenol.
    • Diphenyl carbonate by transesterification with methyl phenyl carbonate.
    • Methyl carbamates, a raw material for isocyanate synthesis.
    • Tetramethoxysilane by reacting with silica at 550-600K.
