The reaction of carbon dioxide with α-ethynyl tertiary alcohols has been catalyzed by cobaltocene to give α-methylene cyclic carbonates in good yields. α-Ethynyl primary or secondary alcohols give noncyclic alkyl carbonates in fair yields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
