Method for synthetising methyl ethyl carbonate by exchange of diethyl carbonate and methanol ester

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for synthetising methyl ethyl carbonate by exchange of diethyl carbonate and methanol ester. The method includes that under normal pressure, the diethyl carbonate and methanol are taken as raw materials, imidazolium ionic liquids are taken as catalysts, and synthetic reaction of the methyl ethyl carbonate is performed at a certain reaction temperature and in a certain reaction time. Usage amount of the catalysts only accounts for 1-5% of the mass of the diethyl carbonate, the ionic liquids serving as the catalysts are high in catalytic activity during reaction, the yield of the methyl ethyl carbonate can ultimately reach 68.15%, selectivity can reach 85.39%, the diethyl carbonate can be recovered for continuous cyclic utilization by simple treatment after the reaction, and the methyl ethyl carbonate is long in service life and free of any pollution, so that cost for preparation of the methyl ethyl carbonate is greatly lowered.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a kind of synthetic method of ethyl methyl carbonate, particularly a kind of method that adopts ionic liquid to synthesize ethyl methyl carbonate as catalyst. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of lithium-ion batteries, the requirements for battery safety and service life are becoming more and more stringent, which brings challenges to the technological innovation of battery electrolytes. At present, the quality of domestically synthesized electrolyte solvents cannot meet the use standards, so electrolyte solvents are generally imported from abroad. In recent years, it has been found that ethyl methyl carbonate can be used as a good electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries. Ethyl methyl carbonate is a A wide range of asymmetric carbonate compounds, mainly used as solvents and intermediates in organic synthesis, when used as electrolyte solvents for lithium-ion batteries, due to its low viscosity, high...
