Abstract
The synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) by oxidative carbonylation of methanol with PdCl2 as a catalyst was investigated in the room temperature ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF6]). The products were recovered in situ using supercritical carbon dioxide. Enhanced selectivity of DMC over this catalyst was observed in the synthesis in [bmim][PF6] compared with the situation without the ionic liquid (IL). The mixture of catalyst and [bmim][PF6] could be recycled.
