Kinetics and mechanism of the catalytic reaction between alcohols and dimethyl carbonate

The mechanism of the reaction between alcohols and dimethyl carbonate, catalyzed by dicobalt octacarbonyl Co2(CO)8, is studied by means of mathematical modeling. Kinetic models for possible schemes of chemical transformations are constructed at different initial concentrations of the catalyst. Based on a comparative analysis of activation energies of possible stages of chemical transformations, possible reaction pathways are determined and an appropriate mechanism is selected.

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.

ALKYLATING PROPERTIES OF ACID ORGANIC PHOSPHATES

Under the action of phenols and alcohols, acid alkyl phosphates undergo transesterification, which is accompanied by dealkylation of the latter and alkylation of the alcohols (phenols) at the hydroxy groups and aromatic rings.Isopropyl phosphates are stronger alkylating agents than methyl phosphates.Diphenyl methyl and phenyl dimethyl phosphates yield products of methylation of their own aromatic rings only upon prolonged pyrolysis.In all cases organic polyphosphates are formed.
