Run DMC: Homogeneous catalysts based on titanium alkoxides and polyethers were studied for the production of the industrially important intermediate dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from carbon dioxide and methanol (see scheme). The reaction proceeds in the presence of 2,2‐dimethoxypropane as a recyclable organic dehydrating agent under supercritical CO2 conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
