Synthesis of isosorbide bis(methyl carbonate) by transesterification of isosorbide with dimethyl carbonate, and evidence of its usefulness as a monomer for manufacturing polycarbonates
Isosorbide bis(methyl carbonate) (IBMC) is a barely explored isosorbide derivative potentially useful as a monomer for synthesizing biobased polymers. In this paper, its synthesis by transesterification of isosorbide (IS) with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) at reflux temperature using potassium and cesium...
