Resumo

A zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) was developed as a novel efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of ethyl methyl carbonate from dimethyl carbonate and diethyl carbonate. ZIF-8 was characterized by element analysis, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), N2 adsorption–desorption and thermogravimetric analysis. The effects of catalyst amount, temperature and reaction time on the yield of ethyl methyl carbonate were also tested. The results showed that ZIF-8 performed excellent activity, selectivity and reusability under mild reaction conditions.
