ChemInform Abstract: Facile Synthesis of Carbonates from Alcohols and Carbon Monoxide Promoted by Elemental Sulfur.
ChemInform Abstract
The carbonates (VI) and (X) are formed by carbonylation of the alcohols (I) or diols (VII) with carbon monoxide (III) and sulfur (IV) in the presence of the amine (II) or (VIII) followed by treatment of the resulting salts with copper(II) chloride.
