Synthesis of Propylene Carbonate by Urea Alcoholysis—Recent Advances
نویسندگان
چکیده
Organic carbonates are considered the chemicals of future. In particular, propylene carbonate is widely used as a non-reactive solvent, plasticizer, fuel additive, and reagent, especially in production environmentally friendly polymers that not harmful to human health. This paper reviews recent literature findings regarding development synthetic methods starting from propane-1,2-diol urea. The ammonia formed during synthesis recycled obtain urea carbon dioxide.

Synthesis of propylene carbonate from urea and propylene glycol over zinc oxide: A homogeneous reaction
Abstract: In this work, several metal oxides and zinc salts were used to catalyze propylene carbonate (PC) synthesis from urea and propylene glycol (PG). According to the results of catalytic test and characterization, the catalytic pattern of ZnO was different from that of other metal oxides such as CaO, MgO and La2O3, but similar to that of zinc salts. In fact, the leaching of Zn species took...
متن کاملSynthesis of Dimethyl Carbonate from Urea and Methanol
There is a great concern on the utilisation of CO2 due to its increased atmospheric concentration by anthropological emissions in the last few decades. Therefore, the fixation of inexpensive and abundantly available CO2 in valuable chemicals is gaining lot of interest in recent times. Despite this, there are only a few industrial processes where CO2 is consumed directly. One such process is the...
متن کاملKinetics and mechanism of vanadium catalysed asymmetric cyanohydrin synthesis in propylene carbonate
Propylene carbonate can be used as a green solvent for the asymmetric synthesis of cyanohydrin trimethylsilyl ethers from aldehydes and trimethylsilyl cyanide catalysed by VO(salen)NCS, though reactions are slower in this solvent than the corresponding reactions carried out in dichloromethane. A mechanistic study has been undertaken, comparing the catalytic activity of VO(salen)NCS in propylene...
متن کاملNew catalysts for carboxylation of propylene glycol to propylene carbonate via high-throughput screening.
High throughput methodologies screened 81 different metal salts and metal salt combinations as catalysts for the carboxylation of propylene glycol to propylene carbonate, as compared to a 5 mol% Zn(OAc)2/p-chlorobenzene sulfonic acid benchmark catalyst. The reactions were run with added acetonitrile (MeCN) as a chemical water trap. Two new catalysts were thereby discovered, zinc trifluoromethan...
متن کاملUniversal and nonuniversal features of glassy relaxation in propylene carbonate
It is demonstrated that the susceptibility spectra of supercooled propylene carbonate as measured by depolarized-light scattering, dielectric-loss, and incoherent quasielastic neutron-scattering spectroscopy within the GHz window are simultaneously described by the solutions of a two-component schematic model of the mode-coupling theory (MCT) for the evolution of glassy dynamics. It is shown th...
