Density of Dimethyl Carbonate is: 1.069g/cm3

Dimethyl Carbonate is abbreviated as DMC, it is a colorless and transparent liquid with irritating odor at room temperature, the relative density (d204) is 1.0694, the melting point is 4℃? Boiling point 90.3 ℃, flash point 21.7 ℃ (open) 16.7 ℃ (closed), refractive index (nd20) 1.3687, combustible, non-toxic.

Can be mixed with alcohol, ketone, ester and almost all organic solvents in any proportion, slightly soluble in water. It can be used as a methylation reagent. Compared with other methylation reagents, such as iodomethane and dimethyl sulfate, dimethyl carbonate is less toxic and biodegradable. The former method of producing dimethyl carbonate from phosgene is no longer in common use, and is replaced by a catalytic oxidative carbonylation reaction with methanol in the presence of oxygen, which is more environmentally friendly than the former method.

Dimethyl carbonate can replace the traditionally used toxic raw material products phosgene, dimethyl sulfate and methyl chloride.

Can be used for non-photogas synthesis of polycarbonate, diphenyl carbonate, isocyanate and allyl diethylene glycol carbonate; used in the synthesis of a variety of carbamate pesticides, such as carbaryl, etc.; intermediates for organic synthesis, such as anisole, benzene dimethyl ether, alkyl aryl amines, symmetric diaminouracil, hydrazinyl formate and so on; the pharmaceutical industry, it can be used for the system of aminovasoprostane ketone, Ciprofloxacin, p-keto carboxylic acid ester pharmaceutical intermediates and so on. In addition, it can also be used as gasoline, diesel additives, refrigeration oil and solvents.
