Organic Synthesis
Laboratory methods for the synthesis of carbonate ester in the laboratory are:
- from the corresponding diols.
- by double oxidation of ketones in a Baeyer-Villiger rearrangement,although this method is plausible,there is no evidence that it is effective.
- by reaction of an epoxide with carbon dioxide catalysed by a zinc halide
