Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-decanol (1 mole) and dimethyl carbonate (3 mole) was passed through 11.5 grams of a magnesium:aluminum mixed metal oxide (3/16 inch pellets, Mg/Al 3:1) at a temperature of 250° C. and at a liquid feed rate of 0.34 milliliters/minute. After a period of 1.1 hour, a total of 36.5 grams of liquid was collected. Analysis was performed by capillary gas chromatography (FID) using a DB-1701 column. The results were (area %) as follows:
