Diphenyl Carbonate CAS#102-09-0
Diphenyl carbonate is typically produced by introducing phosgene into a solution of phenol and aqueous sodium hydroxide in the presence of an inert solvent, such as methylene chloride. After the reaction, the organic phase containing diphenyl carbonate is separated, the solvent is removed, and the product is purified through distillation.
The reaction can be accelerated by the addition of tertiary amines and is similar to the interfacial polycondensation process involving 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane and phosgene. Diphenyl carbonate is obtained as a white crystalline solid with a melting point of approximately 78°C.
