Diphenyl carbonate → Methyl Benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In Example 20, the same procedures as in Example 20 were used, except that the reaction temperature was 180° C., and the contents were reacted for three hours. As a result, the yield of methyl phenyl carbonate was 18%, and the yield of diphenyl carbonate was 21%. Furthermore, methyl benzoate was produced as a by-product with a yield of 39% (the yield is given in terms of phenyl benzoate).
