Description

Diisopropylcarbonate is a chemical compound that is used as a polymerization initiator. It is also used in the production of polycarbonates, as a corrosion inhibitor, and to inhibit the formation of fatty acids in animal feed. Diisopropylcarbonate has been shown to react with chlorine gas to yield dichlorocarbonic acid and hydrogen chloride. This reaction is an example of oxidative carbonylation. The average particle diameter of diisopropylcarbonate ranges from 0.1-0.2 microns, which can be varied by changing its boiling point or pressure during synthesis. Diisopropylcarbonate can also be prepared by reacting ethylene with carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride at high temperature and pressure.
