Diphenyl carbonate (Cat No.: M068356) is an aromatic organic compound composed of two phenyl groups linked by a carbonate functional group. Appearing as a white crystalline solid, it serves as a key intermediate in the production of polycarbonates and thermoplastics, offering a safer, phosgene-free route. Diphenyl carbonate is also used in transesterification reactions to introduce carbonate linkages into polymers. Its relatively low toxicity and good thermal stability make it valuable in green chemistry and sustainable materials development across industrial and pharmaceutical applications.
