Abstract

Abstract A facile route for the synthesis of dimethyl adipate (DAP) from cyclopentanone and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) in the presence of solid base catalysts has been developed. It was found that the intermediate carbomethoxycyclopentanone (CMCP) was produced from cyclopentanone with DMC in the first step, and then CMCP was further converted to DAP by reacting with a methoxide group. The role of the basic catalysts can be mainly ascribed to ...
