Abstract
Dialkyl carbonates (DRCs) are valuable compounds widely used in the industry. The synthesis of DRC from CO2 has attracted interest as an alternative to the current method, which uses phosgene. However, the reported approaches for DRC synthesis from CO2 requires high-pressure and high-concentration CO2, resulting in elevated costs associated with CO2 purification and manufacturing facilities. In this report, we present an environmentally friendly method for producing DRC from low-concentration and low-pressure CO2 via a dehydration condensation approach without the use of halogenated alkylating agents. This method involves the formation of monoalkyl carbonate [BASE-H][ROC(O)O] using a strong organic base and alcohols, tetraalkyl orthosilicates as dehydrating agents, and CeO2 as the catalyst. Using the method, 39 and 30% of diethyl carbonate yields were accomplished with only 100 and 15 vol % CO2 (CO2/N2 = 15:85) gas bubbling at atmospheric pressure, even under reaction conditions with no large excess of either CO2, alcohol, or dehydration agent.

ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:27802-27810.

Abstract
Here, we report a novel photo-on-demand in situ phosgenation reaction that crosses three phases of a heterogeneous solution of chloroform (CHCl3) and aqueous NaOH containing an aryl alcohol or amine. This reaction system enables the safe, convenient, and inexpensive synthesis of carbonate esters, polycarbonates, and N-substituted ureas from aryl alcohols, aryl diols, and primary/secondary amines, respectively, on a practical scale and with good yield. The photochemical oxidation of CHCl3 to phosgene (COCl2) occurs upon irradiation with UV light from a low-pressure mercury lamp of both the gas and liquid phases of the reaction system under O2 bubbling of the vigorously stirred sample solution. The following reaction mechanisms are suggested: The aryl alcohol reacts in situ with the generated COCl2 at the interfaces of the organic/aqueous phases and aqueous/gas phases, in competition with the decomposition of COCl2 due to hydrolysis. Nucleophilicity and hydrophilicity are enhanced by the formation of aryl alkoxide ion through the reaction with NaOH, whereas the reaction of amine proceeds through neutralization of the generated HCl by the aqueous NaOH.

Abstract
Chiral trifluoromethyl alcohol groups were introduced at the hindered ortho positions of 9,10-diphenylanthracenes to investigate their effects on the physical properties and reactivity towards oxidative dearomatization. In such compact structures, the position in different quadrants and the preferred orientation of the -CH(OH)CF3 groups were determined by the relative and absolute configurations of each stereoisomer, respectively. As a consequence, the stereochemistry governs the organization of the H-bonded molecules in single crystals (homochiral dimers vs ribbon), whereas in chlorinated solvents, they all behave as discrete compounds. Concerning their reactivity, the stereospecific dearomative oxidation of these molecules leads to 9,10-bis-spiro-isobenzofuran-anthracenes, when using organic single-electron transfer oxidants. The chiroptical properties of the alcohols and the corresponding dearomatized products were compared and showed an important modulation of the intensity.

Abstract
The present study reports a systematic investigation of the substitution reactions of a series of symmetric and unsymmetric fluoroalkyl carbonates with primary alcohols or amines. The reactivity of the haloalkyl carbonate depends mainly on the electrophilicity and steric crowdedness of the carbonyl group and the leaving ability of the haloalkyl alcohols. Diethyl carbonate as a reference substrate showed no reaction with the alcohol or amine. However, bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) carbonate [(F3-EtO)2CO] having electron-withdrawing trifluoroethyl groups enabled substitution reactions, with relatively higher reactivities to those for diphenyl carbonate [(PhO)2CO]. Furthermore, (F6-iPrO)2CO, bearing two sets of hexafluoroisopropyl groups, showed dramatic acceleration of the reactions, in which the observed reactivities were similar to those for bis(perfluorophenyl) carbonate [(F5-PhO)2CO]. The electrophilicity of the carbonyl group and the leaving ability of the alcohols in the series of haloalkyl carbonates were found to be correlated with the wavenumbers of their carbonyl groups in IR spectra and pKa for the eliminated alcohols, respectively. Since the eliminated fluoroalkyl alcohols exhibit weak affinity with the organic products and have lower boiling points owing to a characteristic property of the fluoroalkyl group, they could be readily removed from the product by simple evaporation below 100 °C with or without reduced pressure.

Abstract
Carbonate esters are utilized as solvents and reagents for C1 building blocks in organic synthesis. This study reports a novel photo-on-demand in situ synthesis of carbonate esters with CHCl3 solutions containing a mixture of an aromatic or haloalkyl alcohol having relatively high acidity, and an organic base. We found that the acid-base interaction of the alcohol and base in the CHCl3 solution plays a key role in enabling the photochemical reaction. This reaction allows practical syntheses of diphenyl carbonate derivatives, haloalkyl carbonates, and polycarbonates, which are important chemicals and materials in industry.
