What are the advantages of using the transesterification reaction of dimethyl oxalate (DMO) and ethanol (EtOH) to synthesize DEO?
Label:chem
Topic
The transesterification reaction of DMO and EtOH to synthesize DEO shows great potential due to its simple process, low energy consumption, and high product selectivity.
Answer
The advantages include a simple process, low energy consumption, high product selectivity, and the production of methanol (MeOH) as a byproduct, which does not form an azeotrope with any raw materials or products, thus simplifying the MeOH separation process and promoting the direction of generating DEO, thereby increasing the yield of products.
