As a supercritical solvent, it can be used to create increasingly stereoselective versions of the Henry and the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions.
As a supercritical solvent, it can be used to create increasingly stereoselective versions of the Henry and the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions. Two equivalents are produced as byproducts of the Eder reaction, and it reacts with sodium chloride, water, and ammonia in the first step of the Solvay process. Under high temperatures and pressures, it can react with an epoxide to produce an organic carbonate. The Kolbe-Schmitt process uses it and a base to convert a phenol to salicylic acid, and the conversion of a 3-ketoester to a carboxylic acid emits three equivalents of it in a decarboxylation reaction. In the Bosch-Meiser process, it reacts with two equivalents of ammonia to produce urea, while a Grignard reagent or an alkyllithium will react with it to produce a carboxylic acid. For ten points, name this linear, triatomic molecule that combines with two equivalents of water to form carbonic acid.
