We have successfully developed an easy and efficient bioprocess for asymmetric organic carbonate synthesis by performing Novozym 435 mediated esterification of DMC and alcohols in this work. Under the optimized conditions (60 °C, molar ratio of alcohol to DMC 1 : 12), the highest yield of carbonate can reach 95.6%. An additional advantage of the new process is the fact that 90% of the original activity of the enzyme is retained after being recycled nine times. Consequently it has potential as a useful enzyme-catalyzed process for the industrial production of asymmetric organic carbonates.

The invention relates to the use of organic carbonates having formula (I)
wherein:
n = 1-4
R and R' are two linear or branched alkyl radicals which contain a number of carbon atoms whose sum is equal to at least 5 and which can be the same or different, as solvents for the washing of metal surfaces.

The present application relates to a cosmetic composition comprising at least one carbonic acid ester corresponding to formula (I) below:
R1—O—CO—O—R2 (I)
in which R1 and R2 are identical or different and represent a linear or branched hydrocarbon-based radical, with the proviso that:
when R1 and R2 are linear, they each contain from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, with 6≦R1+R2≦7; and
when R1 and/or R2 are branched, they each contain from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, with 6≦R1+R2≦9.
This composition can be used as a product for caring for and/or making up keratin materials, in particular the skin, the lips and/or the integuments.
