Dimethyl Carbonate

Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is an organic compound with the formula OC(OCH₃)₂. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a pleasant, ester-like odor. DMC has gained significant attention as an environmentally friendly or "green" reagent and solvent because it is biodegradable and has low toxicity. It is used as a solvent in paints and coatings and is a key component of the electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries. Industrially, it serves as a methylating agent, offering a safer alternative to toxic reagents like dimethyl sulfate, and as a precursor in the production of polycarbonates.

It will make the broken part even stronger.I decided to go with the ball-and-stick type, as it is easiest to color, is rigid, and looks awesome.The model represents the major resonance contributor.I oriented the model for optimal strength/wa
