Abstract

Alkyl methyl ethers and alkyl methyl carbonates were synthesized by reaction of alcohols with dimethyl carbonate in the presence of tungsten and cobalt carbonyls. Optimal reactant and catalyst ratios, as well as reaction conditions, were found for selective formation of alkyl methyl ethers or alkyl methyl carbonates.
