Effect of different reaction parameters on BPA‐PC methanolysis: reaction temperature {n carbonate : n MeOH=1 : 25} (A), n carbonate : n MeOH (B), catalyst loading {Zn(2)2=1–8 wt%=0.0025–0.02 g=0.32–2.5 mol% (relative to carbonate linkages), n carbonate : n MeOH=1 : 10, 1 h} (C) and reaction time {n carbonate : n MeOH=1 : 10} (D). Reaction conditions: BPA‐PC (0.25 g, Mw ∼45000 g mol−1), solvent: 2‐methyltetrahydrofuran (2‐Me‐THF, 4 mL), Zn(2)2=4 wt% (0.01 g, 1.3 mol% relative to carbonate linkages) and 50 °C.
