Chemical Description |
Dimethyl oxalate is an organic compound that is a white or colorless solid and is soluble in water. Dimethyl oxalate is moisture sensitive and is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, acids, bases, and reducing agents. It has a shelf life of 12 months under proper storage conditions. |
Uses |
Dimethyl oxalate is used in a variety of condensation reactions, such as the production of quinoxalinedione, cyclic diamides, and the diketo-ester. It is also used in the catalytic hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate to produce ethylene glycol. |
SAFETY | Dimethyl oxalate is a hazardous chemical that can cause skin burns and inflammation of the lungs. |

The direct esterification of CO involves processes using CO as the starting material and ester chemicals as products. Dimethyl oxalate (DMO) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) are two different products of the direct CO esterification reaction. However, the effective control of the reaction pathway and direct synthesis of DMO and DMC are challenging.
An emerging synthetic route for the co-synthesis of dimethyl oxalate (DMO) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) via the indirect oxidative carbonylation of CH3OH is presented. The promising co-synthesis process combines the advantages of two separate routes of DMO and DMC syntheses.
What should people do with the huge amount of CO2 captured? CO2 to CO is a promising way for using carbon resources because CO is one component of syngas for the production of many important synthesis intermediates such as dimethyl oxalate (DMO). Hydrogenation of DMO provides an economical and eco-friendly approach for the synthesis of methyl glycolate, ethylene glycol (EG), and ethanol, which is often determined by the reaction conditions and catalysts with different active sites.
