Description

Dimethyl carbonate is a glycol ether that has been used in the production of zirconium oxide. It is also an important reactant in the synthesis of methyl carbonate, which is a precursor to dimethyl carbonate. This compound has been shown to have synergistic effects with copper chloride and methanol. Dimethyl carbonate can be produced by reacting a glycol ether with carbon dioxide at low temperatures or high pressures. In this reaction, the hydroxyl group on the glycol ether reacts with the CO2 to form a carboxylic acid, which then reacts with methanol in an esterification reaction to form an ester and water. The resulting product is dimethyl carbonate.
