Process for preparing carbonate and diol products

A method of forming a cyclic carbonate product is carried out by reacting an alkylene oxide, such as ethylene oxide, with carbon dioxide in the presence of a metal organic framework (MOF) catalyst with less than 0.5 mol% of any potassium or quaternary ammonium salts present based on moles of alkylen...

Summary:A method of forming a cyclic carbonate product is carried out by reacting an alkylene oxide, such as ethylene oxide, with carbon dioxide in the presence of a metal organic framework (MOF) catalyst with less than 0.5 mol% of any potassium or quaternary ammonium salts present based on moles of alkylene oxide feed in a reaction zone under reaction conditions to form a cyclic carbonate product. The cyclic carbonate product may be optionally fed as a crude carbonate product that does not undergo any purification or separation, other than the optional removal of any portion of unreacted alkylene oxide, carbon dioxide, and light hydrocarbon gases, to a second reaction zone containing a transesterification catalyst along with an aliphatic monohydric alcohol. The cyclic carbonate product and monohydric alcohol are allowed to react under reaction conditions to form the dialkyl carbonate and diol products.
