Synthesis of non-symmetrical alkyl carbonates from alcohols and DMC over the nanocrystalline ZSM-5 zeolite

A novel heterogeneous acid (nanocrystalline ZSM-5) catalyzed carboxymethylation of alcohols to non-symmetrical alkyl carbonates using DMC has been realized. Nanocrystalline ZSM-5 (NZSM-5) with a crystal size of 20-30 nm was synthesized by hydrothermal crystallization. The synthesized NZSM-5 was verified by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy and solid state NMR. The morphology of NZSM-5 was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, which revealed the formation of aggregates of the zeolite (100-200 nm) made by the nano-sized (20-30 nm) NZSM-5 particle packing. The physicochemical properties of NZSM-5 were measured by nitrogen adsorption and temperature programmed desorption of ammonia, which indicate the surface area of 465 m2 g-1 and the acidity of 0.936 mmol g-1. The present protocol provides an attractive approach to a variety of non-symmetrical alkyl carbonates in high yields. The catalyst was efficiently recycled for up to 5 consecutive cycles. This method broadens the series of possible utilization for DMC in green chemistry.

Synthesis of alkyl methyl ethers and alkyl methyl carbonates by reaction of alcohols with dimethyl carbonate in the presence of tungsten and cobalt complexes

Alkyl methyl ethers and alkyl methyl carbonates were synthesized by reaction of alcohols with dimethyl carbonate in the presence of tungsten and cobalt carbonyls. Optimal reactant and catalyst ratios, as well as reaction conditions, were found for selective formation of alkyl methyl ethers or alkyl methyl carbonates.
