| Summary: | Benzyl methyl ether (BME) compounds are largely synthesized by the chemicalindustry for use as a starting material for the synthesis of other organic compounds.
In order to achieve the target of green chemistry, BME can be synthesized frombenzyl alcohol and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) using a zeolite catalyst. DMC is a good methylating and carboxymethylating agents that is, in contrast to other such agents, a relatively non-toxic compound. The target of this study is to investigate the possible reaction mechanisms for the reaction of benzyl alcohol and DMC over the zeolite catalyst. |
