Dimethyl carbonate is regarded as the foundation of organic synthesis in the 21 century. More applications of dimethyl carbonate are developed and the consumption is rising now. As an environment-friendly reaction intermediate, dimethyl carbonate can substitute toxic phosgene, dimethyl sulfate and methyl chloride in many fields such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides and dyestuff.
In this thesis, carbon monoxide, oxygen and dimethyl ether are firstly used to synthesize dimethyl carbonate, which is c...
