Method for producing cyclic carbonates
Linear or cyclic carbonates as potential monomers for isocyanate-free polyurethanes and polycarbonates were prepared from polyols and dialkylcarbonatesor diphenyl carbonates. This invention was developed to produce linear or cyclic carbonates with or without using catalysts. Polyol compounds were reacted with carbonates such as dimethylcarbonate and diethylcarbonate to produce thecorresponding lin
