Study on the reaction between bisphenol A and dimethyl carbonate over organotin oxide

Organotin oxide was used to catalyze the reaction between BPA (bisphenol A) and DMC (dimethyl carbonate), and Ph2SnO (diphenyltin oxide) displays the excellent catalytic performance in transesterification and O-methylation. However, Bu2SnO (dibutyltin oxide), (PhCH 2)2SnO (dibenzyltin oxide) and (C6H 11)2SnO (dicyclohexyltin oxide) exhibited weaker catalytic activity but higher selectivity for C-methylation product formation. The π-π function between Ph2SnO and BPA provided more chances for their interaction, and π-d interaction between phenyl ring and Sn resulted in catalyst having higher activity in transesterification and O-methylation. O-methylation product formation over Ph2SnO comes from transesterification product decomposition not from direct methylation of BPA with DMC.

Studies on the carboxymethylation and methylation of bisphenol A with dimethyl carbonate over TiO2/SBA-15

Carboxymethylated species were selectively synthesized from dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and bisphenol A (BPA) over TiO2/SBA-15. On the basis of catalyst characterization by means of XRD, FT-IR, HPLC and GC-MS, the relations between catalytic performance and catalyst properties were discussed. Si-O-Ti was active sites for reaction, and the interaction mode between Ti-O-Si and DMC was main factor to determine carboxymethylation and methylation. When DMC was attacked by Ti-O-Si on two oxygen atoms of CH3-O moiety, BPA attacked carbonyl carbon to form carboxymethylated products. If the interaction occurs through the oxygen of C{double bond, long}O moiety, BPA attacked methyl carbon to form methylated products. Chemisorbed H2O over TiO2/SBA-15 made DMC to act as methylating agent. After chemisorbed H2O was removed, carboxymethylated species of two-methylcarbonate-ended-BPA (DmC(1)) and one-methylcarbonate-ended-BPA (MmC(1)) were selectively synthesized.

Chemical Upcycling of Waste Poly(bisphenol A carbonate) to 1,4,2-Dioxazol-5-ones and One-Pot C?H Amidation

Chemical upcycling of poly(bisphenol A carbonate) (PC) was achieved in this study with hydroxamic acid nucleophiles, giving rise to synthetically valuable 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones and bisphenol A. Using 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]-dec-5-ene (TBD), non-green carbodiimidazole or phosgene carbonylation agents used in conventional dioxazolone synthesis were successfully replaced with PC, and environmentally harmful bisphenol A was simultaneously recovered. Assorted hydroxamic acids exhibited good-to-excellent efficiencies and green chemical features, promising broad synthetic application scope. In addition, a green aryl amide synthesis process was developed, involving one-pot depolymerization from polycarbonate to dioxazolone followed by rhodium-catalyzed C?H amidation, including gram-scale examples with used compact discs.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING POLYCARBONATE OLIGOMERS

A process for producing an oligomer comprising contacting a dialkyl carbonate and a dihydroxy compound in a reaction zone in the presence of an oligomerization catalyst under oligomerization conditions to form the oligomer wherein the molar ratio of dihydroxy compound to dialkyl carbonate in the reaction zone is at least 2:1.
