Dimethyl carbonate DMC

Product Overview

Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC) — chemical names: dimethyl carbonate / methyl carbonate / carbonic acid dimethyl ester (CAS 616-38-6). DMC is a clear, mobile organic carbonate (also written dimethylcarbonat, propylenecarbonat is a different carbonate — note to avoid confusing the two) used both as a green solvent and as a versatile reagent for methylation, carbonylation and carbonate synthesis. It is considered a low-toxicity, environmentally preferable alternative to methylating reagents such as dimethyl sulfate or phosgene derivatives.
