Abstract:Monoalkyl carbonates (MACs) or, more broadly, hemiesters of carbonic acid (HECAs), constitute a class of compounds that are omnipresent in our lives, once formed by the reaction of carbon dioxide with alcohols. Despite their commonness, MACs are elusive in solution and went largely unnoticed by most researchers until the recent resurgence of interest in studying their properties, relevance (e.g., in CO2 capture), and analysis (for example, in foods, drinks, and sugars), by using techniques like NMR, MS, and CE… Show more
