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

Famous quotes containing the words organic and/or synthesis:
“And what if all of animated nature
Be but organic Harps diversely framed,
That tremble into thought, as o’er them sweeps
Plastic and vast, one intellectual breeze,
At once the Soul of each, and God of all?”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“The invention of photography provided a radically new picture-making process—a process based not on synthesis but on selection. The difference was a basic one. Paintings were made—constructed from a storehouse of traditional schemes and skills and attitudes—but photographs, as the man on the street put, were taken.”
—Jean Szarkowski (b. 1925)
