Structure

The chemical formulate and model provided is only Dimethyl carbonate, NOT Diethyl carbonte, isn't it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.244.65.72 (talk) 17:22, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Has been fixed meanwhile. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 18:55, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Low" flash point?

The intro describes diethyl carbonate as "a clear liquid with a low flash point". The side panel gives the flash point as 33°C. This is well above normal room temperature. Ordinarily, flash points of volatile liquids are not noteworthy enough to be mentioned in an introduction unless they are well below normal room temperature (diethyl ether and ethyl acetate have flash points below 0°C. Even ethanol, not normally considered a serious flash-point hazard, has a flash point of about 14°C). Unless someone believes the quoted flash point of 33°C is incorrect I propose to remove "with a low flash point" from the intro. Longitude2 (talk) 09:18, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Found a Study, Don't Curently Have Time

I found a study, i don't currently have the time to read it and post information here / edit the page
I will post the link though so someone else and/or future me can use it:

The melting point here is wrong.

Should be -43°C https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/7766#section=Boiling-Point Tiptopper (talk) 16:16, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I've updated the article. --Ben (talk) 06:53, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The CRC Handbook is incorrect in this matter. See the following article:
