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:
“The human face is the organic seat of beauty.... It is the register of value in development, a record of Experience, whose legitimate office is to perfect the life, a legible language to those who will study it, of the majestic mistress, the soul.”
—Eliza Farnham (1815–1864)
“It is in this impossibility of attaining to a synthesis of the inner life and the outward that the inferiority of the biographer to the novelist lies. The biographer quite clearly sees Peel, say, seated on his bench while his opponents overwhelm him with perhaps undeserved censure. He sees him motionless, miserable, his head bent on his breast. He asks himself: “What is he thinking?” and he knows nothing.”
—Andre Maurois (1885–1967)
