Compound Q&A
How is Diphenyl carbonate (CAS: 29862-10-0) typically synthesized?
Answer
Diphenyl carbonate (CAS: 29862-10-0) is typically synthesized by the esterification of phosgene with dihydroxybenzene (phenol) in the presence of a base. Commonly used bases include sodium hydroxide or potassium carbonate. The process yields Diphenyl carbonate with good selectivity and high yield. The reaction is conducted under mild conditions to avoid side reactions and is often performed in an inert atmosphere to prevent degradation.
