Description :

Overview of Diethyl Carbonate

Diethyl Carbonate (DEC) can be described as an organic carbonate extensively used for its role as a fuel additive, as well as an intermediate in the chemical synthesis process. It's valued due to its superior solubility, lower toxicity, and excellent chemical stability. It is appropriate for laboratory and industrial use.

The chemical formula for Diethyl Carbonate is C3H6O3. The structure of the compound is the carbonate central group, which is joined to two ethyl groups, providing efficient solutions and the ability to react in transesterification and esterification reactions. Diethyl Carbonate is usually an inert, colourless liquid that has a slight ether-like smell.
