Lanthanum nitrate as an efficient and recoverable homogeneous catalyst for the transesterification of dimethyl carbonate with ethanol
Lanthanum nitrate was an efficient and recoverable homogeneous catalyst for the transesterification of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) with ethanol. It was reused 5 times for the transesterification without loss of its catalytic activity.
