Abstract The kinetic behavior of bis(2‐methyl) butylene carbonate (BMBC) by the transesterification dimethyl (DMC) with 1,4‐butanediol (BDO) was investigated experimentally and theoretically. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRs) test confirmed that BMBC successfully synthesized. optimum preparation process at atmospheric pressure, where Zn(Ac) 2 ∙2H O best catalyst for this reaction,...

In the title compound, C(13)H(8)N(2)O(2), prepared from furfuryl alcohol and 4-nitro-phthalonitrile in the presence of potassium carbonate in dimethyl-formamide, the furan and benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 53.45 (9)°. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network.
