Revealing the roles of hydrogen bond and Al2Cl7 anion species and kinetics for ionic liquid catalyzed transesterification of ethylene carbonate with methanol

Gang Wang et al.

Summary: The co-production of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and ethylene glycol (EG) via transesterification of ethylene carbonate (EC) has been studied using metal chloride-based ionic liquids (ILs) as catalysts. The interaction between cation and methanol, as well as the activation of carbonyl group in EC by metal chloride-contained anion, showed synergistic effects on catalytic transesterification. The reaction rates were affected by the steric hindrance effect of the alkyl group substituted at the N atom in the imidazole ring. The Al2Cl7 species in AlCl3-based IL exhibited activity in the transesterification, and its content showed a linear relationship with the transformative rates of both EC and HEMC. The kinetic studies revealed that the reaction rates were first-order dependent on the concentrations of EC (or HEMC) and methanol, and the formation of HEMC intermediate was the kinetic-relevant step. The catalysis of [MDMIM]Cl/AlCl3 with an AlCl3 molar fraction of 0.67 showed higher performance compared to other metal chloride-based ILs, with a yield and selectivity of DMC (or EG) reaching up to 95% and 97%, respectively, after 12 hours of reaction at 140 degrees C. The IL also demonstrated good recyclability without decay in catalytic activity and selectivity after 10 times' recycling.

Efficient synthesis of dimethyl carbonate via transesterification of ethylene carbonate catalyzed by swelling poly(ionic liquid)s

Xin Wang et al.

Summary: The synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) via transesterification of ethylene carbonate (EC) and methanol (MeOH) was an environmental and practical strategy. Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) with swelling abilities were synthesized, and their swelling ability in methanol (MeOH) could be modulated by changing the cross-linker content and chain length of alkyl-substituents on imidazolium. The swollen PILs showed a porous cross-linked network structure and exhibited excellent catalytic activities for the transesterification reaction.
