Abstract

We investigated the synthesis of dialkyl carbonates under solvent-free high speed ball milling conditions. We converted various metal carbonates with the assistance of metal complexing reagents into a variety of dialkyl carbonates. We also observed the increased reactivity of urea under similar reaction conditions.
