Talk:Carbonate ester

Ideas for expansion

 * Alkylene carbonates
 * Trimethylene carbonate
 * Reactivity - transesterification, hydrolysis
 * Non-bisphenol A polycarbonates & nucleophilic substitution of carbonate esters by diamines to give polyurethanes
 * Bicarbonate esters

Oleochemical carbonates
I'm concerned about the Oleochemical carbonates section: it starts out talking about oleochemistry (i.e. getting the substituents from animal or plant sources) but it seems drift into a general discussion about long-chain substituents, which could in principle come from petrochemical sources. I don't know enough about the industry to be confident in fixing it, though. --Slashme (talk) 20:23, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Good catch. I read through Ullmann's on carbonate esters.  That source mentions no fatty acid derivatives, so I conclude that they are unimportant and that some advocating editor inserted the section.  --Smokefoot (talk) 23:30, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Chemistry-jewelry connection?
Amusement for the day. For the image at right, Wiki commons recommended additional tags: "bead", "costume accessory", "jewellery", "necklace". The suggestion does illustrate the strong effect of the geminal dimethyl group on the conformation.--Smokefoot (talk) 16:24, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Does the jewellery come Ingold? --Project Osprey (talk) 11:26, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Well the gem-dimethyl effect is striking. --Smokefoot (talk) 17:44, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
 * These jokes would be funnier if we put more Thorpe into them. --Project Osprey (talk) 01:09, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
