Basing on results of Xu and Qin [10], and Guo [12] on cyclotomic elements in K2F for local fields F, we prove that every element in K2Q
is a finite or infinite product of cyclotomic elements. Next, we extend this result to finite extensions of Q satisfying some additional
conditions.
Key words： Milnor group; cyclotomic elements
