The Guanidine-Promoted Direct Synthesis of Open-Chained Carbonates

In order to reduce CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere, chemical fixation methodologies were developed and proved to be promising. In general, CO2 was turned into cyclic carbonates by cycloaddition with epoxides. However, the cyclic carbonates need to be converted into open-chained carbonates by transesterification for industrial usage, which results in wasted energy and materials. Herein, we report a process catalyzed by tetramethylguanidine (TMG) to afford linear carbonates directly. This process is greener and shows potential for industrial applications.

PROCESS FOR PRODUCING CARBONIC ESTER

A method for producing a carbonic ester, comprising (1) performing a reaction between an organometal compound having a metal-oxygen-carbon linkage and carbon dioxide to obtain a reaction mixture containing a carbonic ester formed by the reaction, (2) separating the carbonic ester from the reaction mixture to obtain a residual liquid, and (3) reacting the residual liquid with an alcohol to form an organometal compound having a metal-oxygen-carbon linkage and form water and removing the water from the organometal compound, wherein the organometal compound obtained in step (3) is recovered for recycle thereof to step (1).

Alkoxycarbonylation of alcohols and phenols by nitrosoformates

Unstable neutral radicals [ROCONHO?] 2 and nitrosoformates 3 are formed by oxidation of N-hydroxycarbamates with lead dioxide. In the presence of alcohols or phenols and water they solvolyzed to mixtures of symmetrical 4 and asymmetrical 5 carbonates. The content of asymmetrical carbonates 5 increases with increasing reactivity of the nitrosoformates 3 formed, temperature, the content of water in the reaction mixture, and with decreasing reactivity of alcohol. The reactivities of individual alcohols have been evaluated with the help of competitive alcoholysis. The new method of alcohol or phenol alkoxylation has been verified experimentally by preparing six asymmetrical carbonates which were obtained in 34 to 47% yields.
