Basic Info
The chemical formula for diethylcarbonate (DEC), is C5H10O3. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild ester smell. It is not soluble in water, but it is soluble in many organic solvents. Diethyl Carbonate is produced by esterification carbonic acid with ethanol. Its molecular composition contains two ethyl (-C2H5) groups and one carbonate (-OCO-O) group.
Diethyl Carbonate has a boiling point between 126 and 128, is less dense than water, is flammable and must be stored with ventilation. Hydrolysis can occur when the conditions are strong acids or bases. It is a valuable organic intermediate that can be synthesized using a variety of methods, including the phosgene, ester, direct carbon dioxide, and other methods.

•1. Lithium battery electrolyte
Diethyl Carbonate is a key solvent for the lithium-ion batteries electrolyte. Its excellent solubility, combined with its electrochemical stability can improve the performance of the battery in terms of charge and discharge as well as cycle life. It is usually mixed with other carbonate-based solvents in order to meet the requirements of high voltage battery systems.
•2. Chemical solvents
Diethyl Carbonate is used in chemical production as a solvent to dissolve nitrocellulose and other materials such as resins, cellulose-ethers, and coatings. Its solubility, volatility and ability to be dissolved in water make it a valuable ingredient in paints, inks and adhesives.
•3. Intermediates for pharmaceuticals
In the pharmaceutical industry, diethylcarbonate is used to synthesize drugs like phenobarbital or erythromycin and as a cosolvent in drug preparations. This improves the solubility and the bioavailability. Its low toxicities and high biocompatibility makes it an ideal drug synthesis intermediate.
•4. Pesticide synthesis
Diethyl Carbonate is a key intermediate in the pesticide industry for the production of pyrethroid insects. It is highly reactive and can be used for the construction of key structures in pesticide molecules. It is more environmentally friendly than conventional solvents.
•5. Electronic chemicals
Diethyl Carbonate of high purity is used by precision industries, such as the manufacture of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and electron tube cathode seal paint. Low impurity can meet high standards for semiconductors and optoelectronics devices.
•6. Polymer industry
Diethyl Carbonate is an intermediate used in the polycondensation reaction of polyester and polycarbonate. It can be used to make high-performance engineering materials and degradables, and improves the mechanical strength and processing properties of polymers.
