Dimethyl carbonate Uses

 Dimethyl carbonate (CAS NO.616-38-6) is a carbonate ester which has recently found use as a methylating reagent. It is also used as intermediate of herbicide.

Dimethyl carbonate Production

 Dimethyl carbonate (CAS NO.616-38-6) is now prepared from catalytic oxidative carbonylation of methanol with carbon monoxide and oxygen, instead of from phosgene.

Dimethyl carbonate Specification

 Dimethyl carbonate (CAS NO.616-38-6) is also named as AI3-14705 ; HSDB 6928 ; Methyl carbonate ; Methyl carbonate ((MeO)2CO) ; NSC 9371 ; Carbonic acid, dimethyl ester . Dimethyl carbonate is colourless liquid with a pleasant odor. It is slightly soluble in water and highly flammable. Dimethyl carbonate reacts with acids to liberate heat along with methanol and carbon dioxide. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing with alkali metals and hydrides. It may cause toxic effects if inhaled or absorbed through skin. Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. It will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated.
