Its chemical formula is (CH3O)2CO, and it is a clear, colorless liquid with a distinct odor. DMC reagent has gained significant attention due to its environmentally friendly properties and diverse utility in different sectors.
Other Names:
- DMC
- Methyl carbonate
- Carbonic acid, dimethyl ester
- Methoxycarbonyl methane
Specifications
Peculiar industrial-grade DMC specifications includes:
- Purity: Bestest ever found ≥99.8 %
- Moisture: ≤0.1 %
- Acidity (as CH₃COOH): ≤0.001 %
- Color (APHA): ≤10
- Heavy metals: ≤1 ppm
- Residue on evaporation: ≤0.01 %
These baseline parameters ensure suitability for sensitive applications such as battery electrolytes, polycarbonate synthesis, and pharmaceutical intermediates.
What is dimethyl carbonate DMC solvent used for?
Primary Use (~80% of market): Solvent in Lithium-ion Battery Electrolytes. It improves ionic conductivity and low-temperature performance.
Green Chemistry: Safer methylating/carbonylating agent replacing toxic phosgene and dimethyl sulfate in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
Solvents: "Green" solvent in paints, coatings, and adhesives.
Chemical Intermediate: Production of polycarbonates, resins, and other carbonates.
Fuel Additive: Oxygenate to improve combustion efficiency (less common today).
