Synthesis of glycerol carbonate from glycerol and dimethyl carbonate in basic ionic liquids*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Glycerol carbonate is a key multifunctional compound used as solvent, additive, and building block in alternative chlorine-free processes. Here, we report the synthesis of glycerol carbonate from renewable materials (glycerol and dimethyl carbonate, DMC) using basic ionic liquids (ILs) as catalysts. After process optimization, it has been possible to isolate pure glycerol carbonate in quantitative yield using a three-fold excess of DMC and ca. 15 % of IL. The IL could be reused at least four times without any significant reduction in the conversion yield.

Esterification of glycerol from biodiesel production to glycerol carbonate in non-catalytic supercritical dimethyl carbonate
Conversion of glycerol from biodiesel production to glycerol carbonate was studied by esterification with dimethyl carbonate in a non-catalytic supercritical condition. It was found that in a non-catalytic supercritical condition, glycerol at higher purity gave higher yield of glycerol carbonate at 98 wt% after reaction at 300 °C/20-40 MPa/15 min. The yield of glycerol carbonate was observed to...
متن کاملSynthesis of carbamates from aliphatic amines and dimethyl carbonate catalyzed by acid functional ionic liquids
Selective synthesis of carbamates from amines and dimethyl carbonate were studied in the presence of various ionic liquids as catalysts. The SO3H-functionalized ionic liquid was found to be the most active catalyst among the applied ionic liquids, and nearly 100% conversion and 95% electivity were achieved when using 1,6-hexanediamine as reactant. The acid functional ionic liquid catalyst syste...

In this study, the non-catalytic supercritical method has been studied in utilizing dimethyl carbonate. It was demonstrated that, the supercritical dimethyl carbonate process without any catalysts applied, converted triglycerides to fatty acid methyl esters with glycerol carbonate and citramalic acid as by-products, while free fatty acids were converted to fatty acid methyl esters with glyoxal....
