Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature shows the new synthesis of diethyl carbonate from CO2 and alkoxysilanes using a zirconium catalyst. The disiloxane byproduct can be reverted to alkoxysilanes using ethanol and molecular sieves as dehydrating agent, which offers a new sustainable approach toward the development of waste‐free synthesis of diethyl carbonate.
