Description

Dibutyl carbonate is a solid catalyst for the preparation of polyesters and polyurethanes. Dibutyl carbonate is a reactive component in the synthesis of many organic compounds. It reacts with trifluoroacetic acid to produce a film-forming polymer, which can be used as a coating on paper or textiles. The hydroxyl group on dibutyl carbonate forms hydrogen bonds with other molecules, which helps form the matrix of the polymer. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy has been used to measure the affinity of fatty acids for dibutyl carbonate films.
Dibutyl carbonate is also used in gravimetric analysis, where it is mixed with an inert material such as sand and weighed to determine its mass.
