Herein, an efficient catalytic system for the direct synthesis of DPC from CO2, phenol, and carbon tetrachloride was developed by using a ZnCl2/copper triflate (Cu(OTf)2) composite catalyst. For the first time, high yield and high selectivity were achieved for DPC synthesis under mild conditions, even at atm. pressure. Carefully designed control experiments and DFT studies indicated that the synergistic activation of Cu(OTf)2 and its anion complex with ZnCl2 for phenol and CO2 led to a remarkably improved catalytic activity through a Lewis acid-assisted catalysis. This study not only provides a new strategy for efficient preparation of DPC but also offers an effective pathway for better CO2 utilization. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as Diphenyl carbonate (cas: 102-09-0Synthetic Route of C13H10O3).
Diphenyl carbonate (cas: 102-09-0) belongs to esters. Esters are widespread in nature and are widely used in industry. In nature, fats are in general triesters derived from glycerol and fatty acids. Esters are responsible for the aroma of many fruits, including apples, durians, pears, bananas, pineapples, and strawberries. Many esters have the potential for conformational isomerism, but they tend to adopt an s-cis (or Z) conformation rather than the s-trans (or E) alternative, due to a combination of hyperconjugation and dipole minimization effects. The preference for the Z conformation is influenced by the nature of the substituents and solvent, if present. Lactones with small rings are restricted to the s-trans (i.e. E) conformation due to their cyclic structure.Synthetic Route of C13H10O3
