PREPARATION:

Although many organic carbonates are produced using phosgene, propylene and ethylene carbonates are exceptions. 
They are mainly prepared by the carbonation of the epoxides:

CH3CHCH2O + CO2 → CH3C2H3O2CO

The process is particularly attractive since the production of these epoxides consumes carbon dioxide. 
Thus this reaction is a good example of a green process. 
The corresponding reaction of 1,2-propanediol with phosgene is complex, yielding not only Arconate 5000 but also oligomeric products.
Arconate 5000 can also be synthesized from urea and propylene glycol over zinc acetate.

 

USES:

-As a solvent:

Arconate 5000 is used as a polar, aprotic solvent.
Arconate 5000 has a high molecular dipole moment (4.9 D), considerably higher than those of acetone (2.91 D) and ethyl acetate.
Arconate 5000 is possible, for example, to obtain potassium, sodium, and other alkali metals by electrolysis of their chlorides and other salts dissolved in Arconate 5000.

 

-Electrolyte:

Due to Arconate 5000s high relative permittivity (dielectric constant) of 64, Arconate 5000 is frequently used as a high-permittivity component of electrolytes in lithium batteries, usually together with a low-viscosity solvent (e.g. dimethoxyethane). 
Arconate 5000s high polarity allows it to create an effective solvation shell around lithium ions, thereby creating a conductive electrolyte. 
However, Arconate 5000 is not used in lithium-ion batteries due to its destructive effect on graphite.

Arconate 5000 can also be found in some adhesives, paint strippers, and in cosmetics.
Arconate 5000 is also used as plasticizer. 
Arconate 5000 is also used as a solvent for removal of CO2 from natural gas and synthesis gas where H2S is not also present. 

 

-Other:

Arconate 5000 product may be converted to other carbonate esters by transesterification as well (see Carbonate ester#Carbonate transesterification).
In electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, Arconate 5000 is doped into low surface tension solutions to increase analyte charging.
In Grignard reaction Arconate 5000 (or most other carbonate esters) might be used to create tertiary alcohols.

 

SAFETY:

Clinical studies indicate that Arconate 5000 does not cause skin irritation or sensitization when used in cosmetic preparations, whereas moderate skin irritation is observed when used undiluted. 
No significant toxic effects were observed in rats fed Arconate 5000, exposed to the vapor, or exposed to the undiluted liquid.
In the US, Arconate 5000 is not regulated as a volatile organic compound (VOC) because it does not contribute significantly to the formation of smog and because its vapor is not known or suspected to cause cancer or other toxic effects.
