A total of 76.1 grams (1 mole) of 2-methoxyethanol, 67.6 grams (0.75 moles) of dimethyl carbonate, and 0.5 grams of dibutyltin dimethoxide were combined in a 250 milliliter round bottom three-neck flask equipped with a straight distillation head and a magnetic stirrer. The flask contents were heated to reflux at an initial temperature of 73° C. at the head and 102° C. in the kettle. After 7 minutes at reflux, a methanol/dimethyl carbonate azeotrope was slowly removed overhead. A total of 55.9 grams of material was removed overhead (64° C.-88° C.) over a period of about 21 hours after which time the kettle temperature rose to 145° C. After this time, the flask contents were cooled and put under vacuum. The desired product was collected at a temperature of 97° C.-105° C. at 3 mm Hg. A total of 77.98 grams (87.5 percent yield) of bis(2-methoxyethyl)carbonate was obtained at a purity of greater than 99 percent as analyzed by capillary gas chromatography on a DB-1701 column.
