Application

Trimethylene carbonate (TMC), also known as 1,3-dioxan-2-one, is a versatile monomer with the chemical formula C4H6O3. It is a colorless solid that serves a crucial purpose in the production of biodegradable polymers for medical devices. TMC is instrumental in the synthesis of aliphatic polycarbonates and polyurethanes, materials that are highly valued in the biomedical field due to their low toxicity and biodegradability. The typical production method for TMC involves the reaction of 1,3-diols with phosgene derivatives or carbon monoxide, resulting in the formation of this six-membered cyclic carbonate.
