A Study of the Pyrolysis of Methyl Ethyl and Diethyl Carbonates in the Gas Phase

Ester Pyrolysis of Carbonates: Bis(benzene hydrate) Carbonate as Potential Precursor for Monomeric Carbonic Acid

“…Overall, the results presented are in agreement with a previous experimental study on diethyl carbonate pyrolysis, in which also ethene and carbon dioxide were found as products. [9] If monomeric carbonic acid is to be made by twofold ester pyrolysis of carbonates, simple dialkyl carbonates are obviously unlikely to perform well. The following carbonates 4-7 all contain O-X (X = C, N, O) bonds that are weaker than the C-O bond of 2.…”

The influence of nanopowder metal oxides on the methylating activity of dimethyl carbonate in analytical pyrolysis

“…Contrary to TMAH, DMC is neutral, odourless, non-corrosive and nontoxic, and for these appealing properties is a widely investigated methylating reagent in organic synthesis [27,28]. DMC is favourably placed for application in analytical pyrolysis as it is thermally stable [29,30] and its methylating power is favoured at high temperatures [28].…”

Intramolecular hydrogen isotope effect in the pyrolysis of diethyl carbonate‐1,1,1,2,2‐d5

“…The magnitude of the intramolecular isotope effects and the relative Arrhenius parameters for the two reaction channels have been determined. Our results are compared to previous work on DEC itself [3,4], and the isotope effects in ethyl acetate, ethyl acetate 1,1,2,2-&, and ethyl acetate-ds pyrolyses [5]. …”
