Preparation of mixed carbonates proceeded in one step from ketones and aldehydes via treatment with NaBH4 in dimethyl or diethyl carbonate solvent at elevated temperatures. This is an efficient and convenient alternative to the traditional two-step sequence of carbonyl reduction to alcohol and subsequent carbonate formation by treatment with an alkyl chloroformate. 25 examples are presented from 49 to 92% yield, highlighting the versatility of this reaction.
A safe and mild synthesis of organic carbonates from alkyl halides and tetrabutylammonium alkyl carbonates

A safe and mild procedure for the synthesis of mixed organic carbonates is described. Reaction of commercially available tetrabutylammonium methoxide and ethoxide with carbon dioxide yields the corresponding methyl and ethyl tetrabutylammonium carbonates (TBAMC and TBAEC). The reactions of these new compounds with several different alkyl halides give methyl and ethyl carbonates in high yields. The use of classic toxic and harmful chemicals such as phosgene and carbon monoxide is avoided.
Electrochemical activation of carbon dioxide: Synthesis of organic carbonates
Casadei, M. Antonietta,Inesi, Achille,Rossi, Leucio
, p. 3565 - 3568 (2007/10/03)
Electrochemically activated CO2 reacts, under mild conditions, with primary and secondary alcohols bearing a leaving group at the α-position affording the corresponding cyclic carbonates in high yields; unsubstituted alcohols are converted, after addition of EtI, into the corresponding unsymmetrical ethyl carbonates in moderate to good yields. Tertiary alcohols and phenols are stable to the reagent.
