Route of Synthesis (ROS)
| Conditions | Yield |
| Stage #1: carbon dioxide; carbon monoxide; caesium carbonate With silica gel; pyrographite at 325℃; under 15001.5 – 33753.4 Torr; Stage #2: methanol at 200℃; under 30003 Torr; for 2h; Reagent/catalyst; Temperature; Pressure; Experimental Procedure 3 (One-Step Process for the Preparation of Dimethyl Oxalate with C02, CO, and Cs2CO3 Cs2CO3/5i02 or A1203 and charcoal) Activated charcoal was vacuum dried overnight at 90 °C. The dried activated charcoal was mixed with equal amount of engineering silica (H-53), pre-calcined for two hours at 400 °C under inert conditions (e.g. glove box). The resultant charcoal/silica mixture wasused as a catalyst support for the reaction catalyst, cesium carbonate. Cesium carbonate (0.8 g) with equal amount of charcoal and silica (0.2 g each) was placed in a high pressure reactor (100 mL Parr (Parr Instrument Company, U.S.A.) reactor. C02 (45 bar, 4.5 MPa) was charged and the reactor heated to 325 °C, maintained at 325 °C and cooled to room temperature to form the adduct. CO (20 bar, 2 MPa) was then charged and the mixture was stirred for 1-2 hour at325 °C with agitation, and then cooled to room temperature by applying cool air to the reactor. The reactor was cooled to 25 °C and depressurized. The reaction mixture contained cesium oxalate, cesium formate, and cesium bicarbonate as confirmed by ‘3C NIVIR. A solution of methanol (20 mL) and the crude cesium oxalate was add to the reactor, and the reactor was pressurized with C02 (40 bar, 4.0 MPa). The mixture was heated for 2 hours at 200 °C, andthen cooled. The remaining solvent (methanol) was removed by evaporation under vacuum. The product composition was analyzed and identified as being a mixture of dimethyl oxalate, cesium formate, and cesium bicarbonate. The overall yield of DM0 was 95percent, respectively. the overall yield of cesium formate as byproduct was about 7-8percent. ‘3C NIVIR (CD3OD, in ppm):53 (-OMe), 158 (-CO-), 161 (C5HCO3), and 171 (CsHCOO). A mixture of alumina/activatedcharcoal with cesium carbonate gave similar results under the same conditions. | A 95% B n/a C 0.8% |
